Love Me Back is a no holds barred look
at a young woman named Marie who has worked as a waitress in low end
restaurants and eventually winds up waiting tables at an exclusive steak
restaurant in Dallas.
The timeline is mixed up throughout
the book so there are sections which are difficult to piece together but Marie’s
life is disrupted after she marries and has a daughter. We never learn too much about her
motivations, but Marie leaves them and goes back to waitressing.
A warning should accompany this book,
as there is lots of (raw) sex and drug use and drinking. Apparently, this is the way of life of many people
employed in the food industry, but there is no sugar coating in the telling.
As a cautionary tale, this is a good
read. It is sad to think that people
have lives that follow this path, but certainly not surprising.
