I knew about the book when it was first reached bestseller lists, but I dismissed it as just her name selling the novel rather than her literary merit. As a fan of Duff since her Lizzie McQuire days, I had to take a read (I LOVED when I was in third grade, playing her songs every day.)

She was mostly left to fend for herself at the too-tender age of 12 and began lying about her age in order to work, which is how she was introduced to the restaurant world. Bones details her idyllic childhood in rural Pennsylvania and its sudden crash and burn when her parents divorced. That unto itself should merit some special book award. Chef Gabrielle Hamilton’s memoir was so engrossing that I was crawling into bed early to read and long, subway rides from Washington Heights suddenly seemed too short.
