This book seriously made me hungry in parts. I wish the book was all about food but it was more than that. Erin starts working in her parents diner that her dad bought in the 80s. I grew up in the 80s so I got a lot of the same treatment from my dad. I think it was a generational thing. I too was the oldest girl and it was a shame back then not to have a boy. I completely related to this part of the story. I love the journey on the love for food and trying to break away from the family business. I understand that getting pregnant so young hurt the chances at being something else but she sure made a go of things.

The part where I wanted to stop reading was all about Tom. I seriously wanted to scream "no don't go in there" like I was reading a psychological thriller. What happened later was just terrible and gut wrenching. What a terrible thing to go through in life.

The only part of the book I disliked was the end. I felt it was too rushed. I would have liked to know if Tom got hit by a bus or karma got him back. I sure hope so. It also rushed through the resulting happiness. Maybe I just wanted to read more.

Anyways I really don't ever read memoirs, and I had no idea who Erin was but I definitely could relate to a lot of the story. I'm happy it panned out in the end.
