Book Review: 'Sweetbitter' is a novel to be savored

Things seem to fall into place when she aces an interview at a famous restaurant in Union Square — unnamed, but bearing quite a bit of resemblance to Danny Meyer's famed Union Square Cafe, where the author actually worked — and enters the world of fine dining that's equal parts glamour and drudgery.

[...] she gets swept up in the hedonistic lifestyle of servers, with plenty of late-night partying, awash in alcohol and drugs.
