Fat girls and lawn chairs

Maybe I was expecting too much, but I
wasn't crazy about the book. An essay here and there was wonderful,
but there were too many that just seemed like the ramblings of that
talkative person seated next to you on the plane who won't let you
get back to your book. Perhaps she needed a better editor.

The essays I liked, however, I really liked. My favorite essay from
the book was questionably “The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company”. In
this essay, Peck tells about her grandmother with such love that I
wish I'd known her. Well, I suppose in a way I have.
