She talks about food a lot and it all sounded so delicious and made me soooo hungry. Eloquently balanced the complicated relationship with her mother with the love they had for each other. Beautifully written. Reminded me of leg but more poetic. A lovely memorial of her mother, their relationship, and their culture.

This is a gorgeously written and heartbreaking memoir exploring the depths of family, grief, and trying to exist as yourself. Truly beautiful.

Zauner’s writing is impeccable: emotional, thought-provoking, witty. The book invites us to partake in her nostalgia for her home, her family, and the Korean dishes that connect her to her mom.

The story is heartbreaking and gorgeous. It is raw.

I enjoyed it immensely.
