I'm surprised so many other readers were disappointed. It is important, however, to know what you're getting into. This is basically a coming-of-age memoir. Yes, it's officially fiction, but if you Google this book or the author at all, you'll see that it's virtually her life, with some characters and names changed, just slightly. Also, it's just one year-in-the-life. That said, it's beautifully written. If you love food, you'll love the detailed descriptions of all parts of fine dining, in one of New York's best restaurant. And, since NYC has about 7,000 good places to eat, that's saying something. And if you're interested in relationships, power struggles, love and disappointment, the author has a lot to say. And all this by a young, first-time author. An amazing accomplishment.
