• Just Browsing
  I was just browsing in one of the airport book shops with no plans to purchase a book. I am in recovery from an eating disorder and when I saw this title it immediately drew me to the book.

• Funny and fun, nothing too deep...

  The beginning was a little slow for me, but I thought the essays (which really read more like short stories) were enjoyable and honest. This is a quick read that I would especially recommend for anyone who has ever considered the following: living in New York City, a career in publishing, volunteering, baking, or going veggie.
