Yes, her story was fascinating and at the same time pretty tawdry.
Makes my 20’s seem like I was a nun in a convent by comparison. I definitely don’t approve of the extreme drinking etc.
Yeah I had some crazy moments in high school and college but her craziness went on for a very long time. Obviously an addict. Can’t remember the exact ending but I think she finally got help right?
I haven’t finished it, I certainly hope so. So sad that she really wants to find a man who will love her, with her loving him back but she settles for just raw sex. Alcohol and drugs can certainly lead to lowering inhibitions.
She must have been together in her work life since Bourdain obviously trusted her and they worked together for many years.
I am so glad to have found this thread. Did not know it even existed until a few minutes ago.

Just started this. Crazy stuff how private equity has created a type of uber-capitalism that has created its own rules and eliminated liability for any bad decision via legislation and other avenues. Easy text to follow but man, the whole deal is a bit F***** up.
