Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir

Not quite as much fun as [b:Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise 80642 Garlic and Sapphires The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise Ruth Reichl https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1436980266i/80642.SY75.jpg 1824603], which was one of my favorite memoirs ever, but then I'm the weirdo who loves reading bad restaurant reviews, even for cities I don't live in. I still enjoyed this, even though not a whole lot really happened, per se, until the end, when everything falls apart really quickly. Reichl is just such an excellent, descriptive writer that this was still something I wanted to keep reading. I think it suffered a little by comparison because her strongest suit (at least in what I've read) is writing about food, and there just wasn't that much of that here, understandably so. Still definitely worth reading, but you should also read Garlic and Sapphires.
