review 1: I really enjoyed this book! The main things I took away from this was to never feel ashamed or embarrassed of your food allergies/intolerances and that you CAN enjoy a full life without missing out on experiences that revolve around food. She goes through practical ways to be assertive and get your needs met in lots of different situations and environments. To do this, she explains how to utilize people around you, your friends, family, restaurant workers, doctors as part of your team. Above all, YOU know yourself and have the capacity to make the best choices for yourself. While you should feel no shame, she also emphasized how your food intolerances need not define who you are and should not be the center of your life, conversations, etc. A really helpful book and I thou... moreght she was a very engaging, creative writer.
review 2: Somehow, this wasn't quite what I expected. Rather than a memoir or biography, most of the book is a how to guide for living with allergies. The advice is wonderful, very down to earth and easy to approach. The reading style is light and easy. But as said, it's more of a how to guide than anything else. I'll be passing it on to my food allergic daughter soon, to help her navigate her high school dating (don't tell my husband I said that) days. less
