Beautifully written. Talks about the dark, painful parts of caring for a sick parent and grieving their death. And about the pain of being mixed race and losing your culture when you lose a parent. Plus wonderful descriptions of food.

This was such a wonderful memoir of mom-grief. There were times I struggled with my therapist-hat coming on too strong, but that's very much a "me" problem and not a book problem. The mom grief me, though, was hit over the head by a two-by-four with this book and the depth of feeling wrapped up in it, all told through a lens of the author managing her own biracial identity and what it meant before and after her primary tie to her Korean world died.

I don't even really know what to say, but I will try to put something about the reading experience into words.

It was alright.  I teared up a few times.  The descriptions of food were verbose and evocative, sometimes excessively so.  I love Maangchi.

This is a story of grief and mourning, of finding your identity and how it changes as you grow, relationships and connections.

I thought she was japanese this whole time bc band name and  can you make me breakfast in bed? And when I wake up in the morning will you give me lots of head?  This is my first audiobook I actually listened to the whole thing.  I feel like there is a lot of trauma here she still hasn't fully accepted as trauma while the whole book is about trauma until the very end.  Probably the only memoir Ill ever listen to .  I felt like I had to since since last year  I listen to japanese breakfast everyday.  Especially heft and sweet sounds of a distant planet. Hits me so hard. I actually never knew they were this popular like 20 million listens on spotify popular bc I never heard of them spotify reced them to me one day. All the listens are from me.

Why I tagged as sexual assault: i forgot what that thing kakashi does is called but she was like its not sexual assault and procedded to respond to being on the recieving end like if it were sexaul assault. It is also not an isolated incident.

A beautiful, emotional memoir about family and turmoil and loss and grief. I cried as my stomach growled reading about the delicious food that held so many memories. Our lives are these complicated tapestries of feelings and events. What an honor to read this exercise in exploring a life.
