This one grabs you right from the beginning with the detail with which she describes her days at the diner. Within the first few pages, you’re already picturing yourself in her position. You really root for Erin through her struggles to, as she says, “remake a life from scratch.” If you’re a foodie, definitely pick this one up. She describes her dishes with such detail, you can imagine sitting down to a delicious meal she’s prepared for you in her kitchen. If I ever travel back up around Maine, I absolutely would be interested in visiting her Lost Kitchen! I enjoy reading memoirs where I feel the author takes me deep in their lives, even when it may be messy. Erin absolutely does this, and she walks you through her experiences and the tough times with detail, but not self-pity. I really enjoyed this one, and I can’t wait to watch her series The Lost Kitchen on the new Magnolia Network! Thank you so much to Erin French and Celadon Books for my ARC!
