A heartbreaking yet informative memoir from Zauner that touches on culture, identity, grief, and caregiving. I found her descriptions of how unconditionally and unapologetically she showed love to her mom and vice versa so touching, tearing up multiple times. I sometimes struggled to understand the repetition of the detailed descriptions of food and some moments that felt a little untied to thoughts, but I will remember this book for a long time!
