Born round

Bruni's writing style is really unique, especially for a food memoirist. Instead of recalling memories of food with nostalgia and happiness, they seem quite bittersweet—like good times mixed with an omen of what's to come. I took my time reading this book, not devouring it like I have with mystery novels lately. This book made me cackle and cry, and reminded me of my own bad habits with food and the irresistible nature of some foods.
