Grieving is hard and I appreciate this book for it. We all go throught it at one point or another, and we are not alone. 

The discussion regarding cultural and individual indentity is also interesting. However, there are certain parts I wish Michelle Zauner had gone much deeper. I want the introspection to be pushed and explored even further, because it feels like something is still being held back, already at the tip of your tongue but isn't said aloud. Nonetheless, this is her story and I respect it as it is. 
At the end of the day, we are all still comtemplating, searching and discovering these topics as we go.

This book is beautifully written, can't explain the feelings I have for it so here's one of my favorite quotes:

Sometimes my grief feels as thought I've been left alone in a room with no doors. Every time I remember that my mother is dead, it feels like I'm colliding with a wall that won't give. There's no escape, just a hard surface that I keep ramming into over and over, a reminder of the immutable reality that I will never see her again.

“Don’t fall in love with someone who doesn’t like kimchi.”

Extremely emotional and raw, Michelle Zauner brings us through the path of love, grief and her connection to family ties and food.

She talks about food a lot and it all sounded so delicious and made me soooo hungry. Eloquently balanced the complicated relationship with her mother with the love they had for each other. Beautifully written. Reminded me of leg but more poetic. A lovely memorial of her mother, their relationship, and their culture.
