Recommend: No

This memoir follows the life of Phyllis and her relationship with food and the world around her.

This was a surprisingly quick read. The "chapters" were around 1-3 pages each, so jumping from one chapter to another was really quick and easy. The thing with the small chapters is that, as we read, it speeds past all of the events and memories. I really didn't understand the purpose of this memoir, it's kind of just a brief summary of the author's life that really doesn't feel like it tackles or addresses any topic other than motherhood and her relationship with food.

On a different note, I really liked the writing/formatting style. It was both vague and interesting to me. There aren't many memoirs I can get through as easily as I did this one, and it is purely due to the writing style and formatting.

Overall, it was a quick read and not a bad one. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is because I felt no connection to it and it lacked a central idea/story to me.

I appreciate the recipes at the back of this book, but there is probably a 10% chance of me ever revisiting this book to find a recipe.

The specific copy of this book I read was an ARC.
