I got this book from Netgalley so I could read and review it before it’s published. I will admit and tell you the only reason I was interested in this book was because of the title. So, basically, I went in blind and I came out in color and already have another book of hers about being a chef in my wishlist.
Her parents told her to be a nice Jewish girl and marry a nice Jewish boy. Chef Rossi wanted no part of that, and at the age of 16, her parents sent her to live with other girls under the tutelage of a Chasidic Rabbi. She reluctantly does do the things she is expected to do; even though she would much rather be doing something else.
I enjoyed meeting her parents, the fellow ladies at the Jewish house, her girlfriends, and her friends. At age 18, when she is of the age where she can do what she wants, she leaves and starts over.
I really enjoyed this book.
