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.

Wow this was so emotional and definitely hit me in my feels. I wasn’t expecting all the depth this book had. I ended up texting my mom halfway through to tell her how much I love her and everyone else should do the same after reading this! Michelle’s story was so heartbreaking and relatable. I didn’t know anything about Michelle before listening to the audiobook and I feel like she bared her soul to us. Normally I find memoirs boring but she kept me captivated the whole time with her life experience, being a mixed woman and of course all the descriptions of the delicious Korean foods. Seriously the book made me hungry. Although I am not Korean, as an asian and white woman I felt kindred to Michelle. A lot of her experiences as a mixed asian girl and woman are things I too experienced. I felt like I could relate to her a lot. I don’t know what else to say about this book besides read it. I would recommend this book over and over. The rawness left me speechless and I wish Michelle all the happiness.

Beautifully written. The audiobook version definitely enhanced the writing, the cadence, the alliteration. It felt like I was listening to art.
