5.0

Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast weaves her heartbreaking tale of the loss of her mother into formation. She had me captured by her story, of her fears and her hopes, her losses and her gains, her failures and her successes on the backdrop of something so awful. She is a brilliant writer, doing her best to find some ease in her pain and I am blown away. Her finding her heritage through food is heartwarming. I just want to thank her for putting her story into words like this, I cannot imagine how hard it must have been.

easily the saddest book I've read in a while. However, its so inspiring in how she reconnects to her korean roots and that connection she has with her mother. Brutally honest.

I’m not normally one for memoirs, but this has been on the TBR for a while, and it did not disappoint. This  book was heart-wrenching. It focuses on the complicated relationship the author, a half-Korean half-white American woman, has/had with her deceased Korean mother. If you’re an Asian American woman with mommy issues, a daughter of an immigrant family, a mixed person struggling with their identity, a person who has lost a loved one to cancer, or anyone else looking for an emotional read and an insight into the experiences of any of these groups, this is the book for you.
