dark emotional funny reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

this was gorgeously constructed and devastatingly sad. what really did it for me is that the ending was so good. she could finally let go and live her own life, settle down etc. many predominantly sad books in the minority with happy endings are only the last 2 pages. and that isnt enough for me! i need to bathe in that happiness so I can even and ease out the stress and sadness from before. this one was like over 40 pages and that was super amazing. worth the read

Zauner writes in a way that really allows connection with her emotion. If you’ve lost a parent I would highly recommend being in a good headspace before reading this.

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

I wan’t expecting to like this book as much as I did. Very touching memoir about the author struggling to figure out her identity as a mixed race person and connecting with her mother’s heritage after her death. The audiobook was narrated by the author herself, and I really appreciated the help to pronounce some of the dish names and Korean words.

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

A beautiful, emotional memoir about family and turmoil and loss and grief. I cried as my stomach growled reading about the delicious food that held so many memories. Our lives are these complicated tapestries of feelings and events. What an honor to read this exercise in exploring a life.

Love love love love love love! Memoirs about grief are quickly becoming a niche genre for me, and this is at the top of that list.
