I think I liked the writing enough to pick up more from the author. I just had issues with the people in the book. Our lifestyles were so different, I could not visualize myself as being friends with, nor liking any of the characters in the book. They were just too trendy and too catty for me. Which, I get it, modern times and all, but it was too much for me.

I don't know or have friends from the cultures that they represented, so this helped me realize that people are gonna people no matter what. I did however, love the food aspect. Loved the food!
