This book has been floating around for a while and I kept seeing it on my social media feeds with mixed reviews so of course, I had to try it for myself. And I'm so so glad I did, and I think you all should too. Part expose on high end restaurant life, part sordid love triangle story, this book is up to its neck in decadent wine, hardcore partying and New York lifestyle. Never before has a character spoken to me like Tess does. Her experiences with moving to New York (narcotics not included) are exactly like my experiences with moving to London. This book is addictive and full to the brim of flavour and lyricism, you will not be able to put it down. Plus it will make you very very hungry. Best debut novel I've ever read!
