If you’ve read the popular Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, you know her writing. You know she’s not afraid of putting her characters through hell (understanding that these are historical books). Free Food for Millionaires is no exception. And if you, like me, are 75% in wondering where the “graphic” rape trigger warning comes in, know that just because you’re near the end of the novel doesn’t mean you’re safe.
Graphic: Sexual assault, Infidelity, Rape, and Domestic abuse
Moderate: Racism
Minor: Abortion

The story covers a relatively short time period in its 650 pages and feels more like a snapshot of Casey’s life than a structured story with a beginning, middle and satisfying end. It feels a little under-edited but the characters are well-developed and I found myself genuinely caring about (most of) them.
