This was a pretty good memoir and the first one I have ever read. It was very real and filled with vivid descriptions and so many details., definitely very well written. It is very emotional at times and she shares all the heartache that she went through in her life and all the sacrifices but also the joy and finally her achievements not only career wise but in her personal life. I liked that the story is from her childhood all the way till she opens The Lost Kitchen which is a very inclusive restaurant and one that uses a very cool method (a lottery) for dining in. All the food descriptions were very good but I have to say that what I most enjoyed about the story was how she fought for what she wanted.
Trigger warnings: animal abuse (this was a big one for me) if you are an animal lover one particular chapter will bother you, suicidal thoughts and self harm, drug abuse, domestic violence and maybe I'm forgetting a few others.
