Michelle captured the beauty and pain of trying to figure out adult relationships with a parent while supporting them through a terminal illness. I laughed. I cried. I cried some more. And absolutely loved this book.

The award for best first chapter goes to this book! A beautiful read — cut 0.25 for rating because the last few chapters seemed a bit stretched and felt unlike the first half/two-thirds of the book.

dark emotional inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

A beautifully written, deeply moving story about family, love, loss, grief, and the ways food and culture tie us together in this life and the next. aMichelle Zauner is an incredibly fluid writer, providing details encompassing all senses without weighing her story down. I decided to re-read this coincidentally during the month that marks the 20 year anniversary of my mom’s passing, as well as the same week my grandmother died. Reading Zauner’s tender account of grief has truly helped me work through my own stages, once again.
