emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.5

Absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching. Michelle Zauner's voice, one that has heretofore been known via her musical presence as Japanese Breakfast, is incredibly powerful and compelling throughout this memoir. She speaks with the gentle reflection of someone who has reckoned with her past and now can walk side by side with it. A must read.

what a gorgeous book, words flowing from story to story, a deeply personal insight into michelle’s life and journey through grief. 

the haverford and bryn mawr references towards the beginning were pretty cool to know — 100% a must read for bico students

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

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.
