This book was raw, powerful, and enjoyable. I loved all the descriptions of the Korean foods and Michelle‘s story is so poignant and touching. Her music ain’t half bad, either!

I was sobbing while reading this, and some parts of this book really had me spiraling. It was so deeply personal and written so candidly (reads like a journal). The author was honest that her relationship to her mother wasn't perfect, but they were still extremely close-knit. It just had me thinking again about how even if you have a complicated relationship with someone, it doesn't mean that losing them wouldn't leave you feeling profoundly sad.

This was a beautifully devastating telling of a daughter losing her mother, but in doing so, finding herself & a true connection to her culture. I had to read this slowly; some chapters eviscerated me. Trigger warning to readers who have experienced the loss of a loved one to cancer.
