The cooking show element was fun and full of delicious food descriptions and challenging of stereotypes
And yet the book ended abruptly. It felt like the ending needed an edit and the overall arc of the story was unfinished. Overall I really enjoyed it but the ending left me wanting

I was riveted by every section (the Taylor swift chapter particularly kicked me right in the gut) and I kept rereading quotes aloud to my coworkers, my husband, anyone who would listen because I was learning so much, things were making sense, and I was overwhelmed by the day to day machinations that actually gave scientific names ascribed to them
Parts of this felt too cerebral and the language over my head so I simply allowed those to wash over me while I still retained the general ideas
