I need to stop listening to the most gut-wrenching audiobooks of daughters talking about their relationships with their mothers when I’m at work because I am literally on the edge of tears all the time.

This story is so emotional and beautiful. It made me think about all the memories linked to foods and drinks and meals together with the loved ones.

The book reads as fiction even when it is non-fiction (and that makes everything way more emotional).
StoryGraph said this is out of my comfort zone but I felt very comfortable reading this.

I love this book and how the author talks about how complicated parental relationships can be. I appreciated her perspective and found myself crying at one point. The writing flows nicely and the talk about dealing with grief and how she reconnected with her family and Korean identity is really beautiful. Truly a stellar book. I have nothing negative to say about it.

I will preface this review by saying that memoirs are not typically my repertoire, yet this book dragged me out of a severe case of a reading slump. Firstly, the author’s beautiful writing provides soothing comforting and ever so meaningful story of her life. I especially enjoyed how she blended food with other themes of her life. As an immigrant myself, this book was a deep relieving sign of breath, and a nice warming cup of soup. For a book with only 200 pages, it could not have been more meaningfully written. The author’s eloquent writing captivated my mind and my mouth water with all of the appealing descriptions of foods. The story of overcoming grief and overcoming disassociation with your culture truly inspired deep thought in me. This book was truly wonderful, and I am so happy that I gave a chance. You should too.
