review 1: A bleak and graphic debut novel, but also incredibly well-paced and beautifully written. The food-service industry is always fascinating to me and Merritt Tierce does an amazing job taking readers behind the scenes of Marie's various restaurant experiences and customer nightmares. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, but those willing to brave it and follow these characters into the abyss will be rewarded by this young author's immense talent and fearless storytelling.
review 2: Damn. This book is a rough ride through a segment of a young woman's life. The passages about the protagonist's daughter, whom she rarely sees, nearly broke my heart. As did her drug-filled nights in which she gave away her body to guy after guy. This book is not uplifting, but writer... mores will appreciate the craft and technique and utter rawness, and the fact that protagonist Marie is in many respects an unlikeable female character --and those kinds of women aren't supposed to be able to carry novels! I look forward to more work from author Merritt Tierce. less
