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!

I decided that I'd go to sleep early. That did not happen. I took a few days to read the first hundred pages but laying in bed I just became entranced in the book. I spent the second half of the book crying. During the wedding where Zaumer says there wasn't a dry eye in the tent, years later I was crying along with them.
Zaumer writes so well and the flow of the book, where we get flashbacks, where we get brought into the present are so well timed and balanced. I picked up the book finally after it being on my list for so long (shout out library waitlists (I kid I love you libraries)) due to her being a musician I deeply love but kept reading because it was so impactful and well written and structured.
My family lost a parent to cancer in December 2023 and my mother recieved her diagnosis in Oct 2024 but thankfully they were able to remove it. It was a good book and I think I needed the cry.
