flattrash's review against another edition

The pacing and repetition made me feel like this book should’ve been an essay or novella.

Very moving, a portrait of the complicated yet ultimately simple relationship between the author and her parents and the impact of distance and COVID-19 on their passing and her grief.

Chung is obviously a very skilled writer and wrote about such a difficult time in her life with poise and so much heart. Although there were some rather religious bits that annoyed me, I could feel how much she loved her parents and the toll their loss took on her. The COVID 19 pandemic's part in the book was really interesting (and gutting) too. I haven't lost a parent yet, but I imagine those who have will be very struck by this book.

This wrecked me. And it didn’t put me back together. It hurt and it’s beautiful and I loved it.
