A review by elizlizabeth
Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

hopeful lighthearted sad medium-paced

3.0

The overarching theme of connecting food with culture and belonging, next to the grief of loosing a parent was so interesting to explore. Sadly, the author went in many tangents that weren't as interesting or relevant and seemed to be included to make Zauner look edgy and non-chalant in a way that seemed performative instead of sincere.
As a memoir I guess everyone is allowed to write however they want but after repeatedly being told by Zauner herself about her background writing articles I expected more.
