Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World: A History

Addiction is a terrible disease. Life can suck. Growing up can be rough. This book may not be for everyone. But this is a glimpse into a life someone out there is experiencing. A neighbor. Someone at the pizza restaurant or grocery store. For me, it was my ex boyfriend. It was a tough read at times. It’s not a book where much is happening but that’s just it. So much is happening inside the mind and heart of the protagonist. She’s pregnant, is18, and grieving the loss of her father and in turn how this effects her relationships with the people closest to her, that she’s seeking affection and validation from a complete stranger.
After reading the reviews of how some felt nothing reading this book, I do feel vulnerable to admit I cried. I’m in my 30s hoping to conceive. And what I read was horrifying.
In the end, it was a book that has left me feeling grateful for so much. And having that kind of take away is priceless.

Does anyone else put off doing chores and other things that need to be done to read? On my weekends, I just want to spend my days buried in stories. I do listen to audiobooks while I do my chores but they're not always the books I want to be reading (problem for a multi-book reader lol).
I guess I should go hang up my laundry, huh? Ya know, since it's not going to hang itself. 😏

I jammed to the song at the end of the audiobook after the credits. It makes it a memorable read for sure. Really fun journey in a magical world if our heroes could give us insight to their feelings and stories. However, I wanted more details. Maybe more descriptions in their features and the locations they were at and even of the recording studio. (In hindsight, some books are just meant to be fun so this is a me problem) Definitely made me reflect on what it means to have freedom and what it meant to our relatives, their sacrifices. Surpised by some of the prayer!* I also thought the book would go to a little more detail into Harriet Tubman because of the title of the book. But overall had a lot of fun! Great short read to kick off pride month!
