Kinda like “The Bear” if everyone was sluttier and there were more drugs…
I really enjoyed this book! It’s a fresh take on the classic coming of age tale as we join our protagonist, Tess, through her first year in NYC. We get to witness her senses, desires, and knowledge grow during her time as a back waiter at a popular restaurant. She was so naive at times that my heart hurt for her, but that’s all part of growing up.
