The story was better than I expected. I was told there was a lot about food in the book (there is) and that doesn’t really interest me. Luckily, there was more to the story than that. The author explains her strained relationship with her terminally ill mother which made me reflect on my relationship with my mother who passed away from ALS. It also made me think about how I interact with my children. Although it has sad elements I also laughed out loud several times. It was easy to read and overall very enjoyable.
