Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

emotional funny hopeful informative reflective medium-paced
I don't rate memoirs but this was amazingly written and had such a profound effect on me. It has to be one of my favourite memoirs, despite not knowing who Michelle Zauner was prior to reading. I loved how raw Michelle was in her retelling of her and her parents' story, how she exposed the good and parts of herself in a way that was innately human. An interesting and complex representation of mother-daughter relationships and growing up Korean-American. At first, I wasn't sure about the non-linear retelling and, though maybe we did rehash the same events a couple times, I think it worked in favour of the story Michelle was portraying.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a deep, emotional and real memoir, even if you aren't familiar with the author herself.
