Okay.

Second question.

Was it entertaining to read?

This is a hard yes for me.

You mentioned the details in the book, and I think that's one thing that I find so delicious about this book is it feels very immersive to me.

Lately, over the last four years, I've just been reading a lot of historical fiction.

I sort of just want to be in a different world.

Yeah.

I wonder why.

I don't know.

know why, if anything happened on a large scale.

But this book really scratches that itch for me.

I love her attention to detail.

I feel like I'm in post-war France.

And I think that's really a function of that attention to detail that we were talking about in her cooking process.

I think that helped her remember all these specifics about her life during that time that really filled out that world and made it a lot of fun to read.

Listen, Chelsea, anyone can learn how to cook and have fun, okay?

Yeah, right.

I think, no, yeah, I think it's a book about kind of a soft life.

It's a soft book about a soft life.
