This book was pretty good. Nothing great or unprecedented, but pretty good. The author spent a lot of time on descriptions, especially of food, which made me tune out from the story. I know food is really important to her and her relationship to her mom, but paragraph upon paragraph made my eyes glaze over. Overall, however, it was a good read.

Zauner’s writing is impeccable: emotional, thought-provoking, witty. The book invites us to partake in her nostalgia for her home, her family, and the Korean dishes that connect her to her mom.

The story is heartbreaking and gorgeous. It is raw.

I enjoyed it immensely.

Very heavy and graphic descriptions of parental terminal illness and death. Only animal death is a short description of a squirrel dying
