I’m not normally one for memoirs, but this has been on the TBR for a while, and it did not disappoint. This book was heart-wrenching. It focuses on the complicated relationship the author, a half-Korean half-white American woman, has/had with her deceased Korean mother. If you’re an Asian American woman with mommy issues, a daughter of an immigrant family, a mixed person struggling with their identity, a person who has lost a loved one to cancer, or anyone else looking for an emotional read and an insight into the experiences of any of these groups, this is the book for you.
