Blood, Bones, and Butter

Am I supposed to hate Gabrielle? Because I kind of do.

Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.

Re: Blood, Bones, and Butter

  • I don't know if you're supposed to admire her honesty and openness, but I disliked her too. The ending pissed me off.

  • I'm only to the point where she's finished in Michigan and is looking at that abandoned French bistro and she's just so irritating. I wanted to throw something at her through her 40-page description of exactly what happens behind the scenes of fancy catered affair. Her tone is entirely offputting. Very "Everyone thinks they're so cultured, but believe me, when I made blah blah soup for the King of Macedonia's daughter's wedding ..."

    And she keeps talking about how she raised herself, yet doesn't even make a passing mention of how she paid for her alternative high school or private college tuition. Scholarships aren't THAT readily available, honey.

  • I found her relatively standable until she gets married then I wanted to throttle her. She seems highly self UNaware for someone writing a memoir.
