I could almost taste this book on my tongue; its bitterness melting on my tongue, leaving behind an aftertaste, I couldn't define.

Sweetbitter is a book about a young girl named Tess and the city that almost destroys her. It's about failed idealism, coming to terms with reality in both love and worklife, and it is about food. Of course.

Danler writes beautifully, not only creating vivid images, but offering food descriptions that are so life-like that you can actually taste, smell and feel them. Most of all, this book feels like a writing exercise in how to create a compelling ambience. And Danler succeeds. Though the plot itself lacks behind.
