TBQH, I hate cooking and baking; I’m more of a frozen pizza person than a foodie. That being said, I cannot fully express just how much I enjoyed *Food Person* by Adam Roberts.
This novel is a fun, sarcastic comedy about two young women trying to get ahead. One is a foodie and a struggling writer, while the other, Molly, is an actress whose reckless past has made her a target for going viral, potentially jeopardizing her career. These two are like oil and water.
When Isabella lands a job to ghostwrite Molly’s cookbook and help relaunch her career, she hopes it will also launch her own. Thus begins a nightmarish but hilarious collaboration.
This novel is laugh-out-loud funny, but it also has a sincere vibe. Readers who enjoyed Alison Espach’s *The Wedding People*, Steven Rowley’s *The Guncle*, Samantha Allen’s *Roland Rogers Isn't Dead*, and Swan Huntley’s *I Want You More* may find this work appealing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. You don’t have to be a foodie to appreciate this read. Thank you to Knopf and NetGalley for the ARC.
