I‘m nervous to read another memoir so close to that Small Fry disaster...š¬ but this cover does have two cats, a dog and a bird on it (which is also the exact same pet makeup as my current situation), so I‘ll give it to page 50 based on that.

kgriffith This is one of those books that I‘m very glad exists, and also probably won‘t read because the takeaway is something I don‘t need to get from a memoir. I think there‘s something to be said for non-fiction that we can reflect on and decide that about, because we‘ve already done the work the author comes to on their journey. 5y

LauraBeth Wow @kgriffith - that is a brilliant assessment - I LOVE that! You‘re exactly right! There is no takeaway here for me that I need either. I did grow up with a mom who had food issues and it definitely screwed with my head - but I worked on those feelings (did the work) a long time ago. š’• And to your point - there are others who went through something similar who haven‘t yet begun to work through it, so I‘m glad this exists for them.

Mimi28 Yikes, I‘ll pass on it for the same reasons you and @kgriffith said. I‘m am empath, I‘ve read 47 books this year which is the best since encyclopedia Brown and Choose Your Own Adventure books were popular- ( boy that ages me, lol) they were mostly graphic novels and short stories and poems books, but darnit I‘ll still say I‘m back in business. Actually, come to think of it, when I stopped reading all that stuff was when the food issues started š¤” 5y

Crave: A Memoir of Food and Longing | Christine O'Brien

so-so

I‘m a big fan of memoirs, but I didn‘t really ever get into this one. The elements of O‘Brien‘s life are interesting: Rich, high powered angry Dad; farm raised mom with food obsessions; childhood anxiety; and lots of famous neighbors. But, ultimately it read ā€rich girl problemsā€¯ even though her experience was very unique. #netgalley

so-so

This was an #ARC courtesy of #netgalley. I love memoirs, especially those about people whose lives are fascinating. There are elements of that in Crave. The author grew up with wealth and privilege but it wasn‘t always easy with an angry father and a mother with her own complexities. All and all there just wasn‘t anything truly unique about this read for me. Poor little rich girl develops issues. I appreciate the author‘s often poetic prose.

This was a #NetGalley ARC. Crave is based on the life of Christine O'Brien as she grows up with a famous, angry father and a mother who strives for control by forcing an extreme diet on her family. It has lasting effects, positive and negative, on the author and her three siblings. I found the authors life to be very exotic and interesting, so much different than the way most people live. This is a good read for memoir fans.
