This memoir focuses on a life-time of snacking, and the author’s relationship to food and snacks through her life. It covers most of her life, and how things have changed, or remained unchanged, over the years. It is candid and doesn’t shy away from dark topics but also doesn’t wallow in self-pity.

I felt this was a really touching and lovely story, laying a lot of feelings bare. It really moved me, and helped me better understand and empathize with people in my surroundings who have similar struggles. I will be thinking about this book for months, if not years to come. If you have someone around you who (or you yourself) struggle with eating full meals, or being considered a ‘very picky eater’, I would highly recommend this book, to help illuminate the experience.

Trigger warnings for the book: Anxiety, self-hate, eating disorder, panic attacks.

I received a free digital ARC copy of this book for reviewing from Andrews McMeel Publishing via Netgalley, which I am very thankful for. However, my review is based on my honest opinions
