Thank you to Celadon for sending me an arc of this book in exchange for a review.

I normally don't read memoirs, but because I won a copy of Finding Freedom in a giveaway, I thought I would give it a go! Finding Freedom was such an unexpected read that I really ended up enjoying. I will say that I was very hungry reading all the descriptions of food, so have a snack handy if you decide to pick it up.

Things I liked:
- I loved learning about Erin's journey of becoming the renoundchef she is today. You really see her strength and her vulnerability, which made the book feel really raw at times. I can't help but admire her strength and tenacity and hope to find myself. Her journey with her mental health/addiction was an unexpected turn of the book that I really appreciated. She is very honest and forthcoming of her struggles throughout this book, and that inly added to my admiration for her.
- I'm not a big foodie, but after this book I think I might be one now! I adored all descriptions of the food. From the set up/decor of the restaurant, to the many dishes they serve, it was all so vivid. Like I mentioned before, I would really recommend having a snack handy when reading this book.

My only complaint was that there was so much description at times that I had a hard time paying attention. It wasn't uncommon to turn the page and see giant blocks of text without paragraph breaks.
