Finding your true self

Revisado: 04-21-23

I've followed Zoey and Kriss on Instagram for years, and listened to a few podcast interviews, so A) I'm already a big fan and B) I thought I knew the whole story - how wrong I was about that! The depth of this book was a wonderful surprise. Zoey's persona on social media paints herself as a bit flaky (she's very determined you know she doesn't take herself too seriously) but that is far from the truth. She is a deeply intelligent woman who has educated herself and honed skills in a few years that take others decades. Her descriptions of grief reveal a depth and maturity far beyond her years. Her knowledge and perspective about the modern food system and her passion for educating others about it make her a vital voice that needs to be heard.
I love how the book was laid out, moving somewhat chronologically, but with anecdotes and deeper themes woven throughout - and I marvel at when she had the time to write this! But it is so authentically her voice, both literally and figuratively - well-edited, but no ghost-writer here. I alternated between wanting to race to the next chapter, and "rationing" it so it wouldn't be over too soon! I would call this a wonderful coming-of-age story about finding your passion, and the hard work it takes to make it work - I HEARTILY recommend!
