I loved the memoir-style of the book! Reading about someone’s life through this medium was truly eye opening. The ending was a little slow, and I felt like could have reflected back to the author’s challenges at the beginning of the book more.

I’m not someone who reads non-fiction. It’s been a failed new years resolution (FOR YEARS) to get through a single non-fiction book. Crying in H Mart broke that chain. 
This memoir is incredibly heartfelt and a beautiful testament to the author’s mother and their bond. I found myself becoming more and more grateful for my own mother as I read. I’ll admit it: I cried a lot! But I also “awww”ed a lot and laughed and drooled over the descriptions of food. The acknowledgments (which I rarely read) were SO SWEET!
