I am impressed with the way she was able to tell her story without piling on excessive weight bias baggage. She tells about her relationship with food, as well as her multicultural experiences, in such a way that we understand her personal experiences are for her personally. It can be easy to tell a story about food, fat and family and include sweeping statements or judgements that wrap up other people in the author's personal experiences. As a reader, those sweeping statements often leave me feeling judged and defensive. Chaudry avoids this for most of the book, so I enjoyed reading the book and didn't feel the need to get defensive about anything.
Also the food! There is so much that describes that seems so delicious. I am going to be looking for a Pakistani restaurant now!
