amengelking's review
4.0
A very well written memoir that blends food and culture with identity and family. The book deeply delves into the mixed bag of emotions that comprise a daughter-mother relationship. I loved that I felt connected to the author because of her time at Bryn Mawr college. Go Mawrters!

Really well-written and well-paced.
"It felt like the world had divided into two different types of people, those who had felt pain and those who had yet to."
—Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart (2021) chapter 14: Lovely, page 161
"When the world divides into two people / Those who have felt pain / And those who have yet to / And I can't unsee it / Although I would like to"
—Japanese Breakfast, "Posing in Bondage" (2017) (rereleased in 2021 for the album Jubilee)
Would definitely recommend this memoir.

Equal parts sad and hungry during this book. Time to binge listen to Japanese Breakfast.
