challenging emotional reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

Moving reflection on grief, family, identity, memory, and people who love deeply and imperfectly. I appreciated her humanizing portrayals of both her parents and her younger self. The food descriptions made me hungry, also!

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.

Crying in Hmart has got me crying in Hmart. If you are a second gen East Asian immigrant, this book will make you cry. It was so painfully relatable and will make you want to hug your mom, no matter how much you hate her. Book of the year.
