Absolutely flawless, heartbreaking, beautiful story of love and loss while navigating life. This memoir was so amazing, at the opening line in the audiobook, Michelle’s endearing and earnest voice swept me in and I knew quickly I would love the story. As a self proclaimed “foodie” who also despises the title but still feels its fit, I devoured every morsel of Korean food description. It had my mouth watering. I love Michelle’s connection to her mother and culture through food and how abundantly it was sprinkled throughout this book. I fell in love with Michelle as a person, her struggle, her rebellion. I feel like we would be incredible friends. I cannot say enough good things about this book except that you must read it. Or better yet, listen.

knittingceliac's review against another edition
Memoirs aren’t my favorite, and as a cancer survivor, it was all a little too familiar. Not something I need to relive.
