**I do not rate NF books**

If you ever wanted to know how the rich and famous eat while in Europe - you may want to give this book a read/listen! The way Stanley talks about food, you could tell he has such a passion for food - eating and preparing it.
Did I know what exactly it was that he ate? Not quite but it didn't matter because the way he describe the food made me want it. I currently cannot have pasta and this made me crave it so much! If you are looking for recipes, Tucci did include some scattered throughout.
I love that he wasn't afraid to talk about the bad food he would eat. He didn't do it in a rude way because let's face it. We all have had times when we were let down by a meal and sometimes when we think we are going to have a good meal and it ends up being not great.
"Home-cooked food strengthens our bonds when we are together, keep us connected when we are apart, and sustains the memory of us when we have passed away."
As someone who loves pop culture & Hollywood, this provided me with that glimpse behind the curtain as to what it's like to follow a working actor for a year. We got to see the privilege as well as the human side of him especially when he talked about his children and his parents. And don't worry he definitely named drop some of his famous friends.
I chose to read this via audio and Stanley's voice is just so relaxing to listen to. And it only would make sense for him to share his entries with us. He has such a great tone to listen to. The audio is not very long at all. I started this at a weird time so it took me longer than normal but this easily could be consumed in a day (under 8 hrs).
Bonus: There were two mentions of my favorite human being Harry Styles - that was a surprise mention that I was so happy to see!
