Absolutely devastating. I had to slow down my reading because I started feeling this in my chest. It must have been cathartic for Zauner to write, and she writes grief very well. Reading this reminded me of how I felt when my father died. I also loved how prominently situated Korean cuisine was in this book. I loved the way food was written about, and I love that Zauner didn't try to explain every dish to us - I had to go look up some of the food. One lingering curiosity for me is how her family was able to afford so much - all the trips, the food, the really good insurance. I think this book is a good example of many things being true at once: your parent can be abusive, and they can also be a victim of abuse, and you can still love them, and you can also be a terrible child, and they can be a terrible person, and and and.

Well, for starters, ow. I don't know what else to say. If you've lost a loved one you will cry. If food is a love language for you like it is for so many, you will be inspired, but you will also cry. Lots of crying will be involved. Be nice to your fucking mom, dude.
