Hannah Howard is a Columbia University freshman when she lands a hostess job at Picholine, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan. Eighteen years old and eager to learn, she’s invigorated by the manic energy and knife-sharp focus of the crew. By day Hannah explores the Columbia arts scene, struggling to find her place. By night she’s intoxicated by boxes of heady truffles and intrigued by the food industry’s insiders. She’s hungry for knowledge, success, and love, but she’s also ravenous because she hasn’t eaten more than yogurt and coffee in days.

Not Good
Reviewed: 06-17-19
I listened to FEAST via Audible, which was narrated by the author. From the very first line spoken, I was absolutely stunned that an author with a distinct lisp would narrate her own book. How on earth did her publishers, editors and Audible allow this to happen? It is truly impossible to understand her, or to take her seriously: and I did try.
The story is whiny and self indulgent; without really getting to the true issues of an actual eating disorder. Sadly, I found the entire book to be a disappointment. If possible, I's return it.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
