Helpful Score: 4

While the author's previous book was engaging and charming in its theme and vision, this book's narrative arc was a bit stilted. I wanted her to have more to compare her latest passion for butchery with than her struggling marriage and affair. While the prose is clear, I didn't find myself liking the narrator or, even more important for my own reading pleasure, pulling for her and understanding her struggle. It's probably unfair to compare a first book with another, so I think this book does have merit, but it was not quite what I expected going into it. I do applaud her forthrightness.
