content: My book club is reading this book. A friend loved it and said it was a quick easy read. I hate it, hate it, hate it and have from the first few pages. The main character is boring, profane (for no apparent reason except lack of class) and whines about everything. The only thing I've enjoyed is the tiny bit about Austin, where I grew up. I adored Julia Child who was one of a kind. The author should be ashamed using her singular greatness to make money with this crass garbage.
