I'm not familiar with the author's music, so that didn't influence me at all. It was sad and makes me want to cherish my mom, a cancer survivor, all the more! Wish I could relate to all the food stories, but I still have yet to try kimchi (my sister thinks it will be too spicy for me).

It’s hard to say that I enjoyed this memoir because it’s so heartbreaking but Michelle’s story of her mom is also so beautiful in the face of so much sadness. (Definitely recommend the audiobook.) It’s hard to understand the love between a mother and daughter when you’re an outsider but Michelle’s wonderful writing about her mom makes you feel enough of their bond to experience her grief.
I haven’t listened to Japanese Breakfast, but now I have to!
