challenging emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

i really love how the emphasis was on food and how it related to michelle’s relationship with her mom, even if they had some differences. although i’m not korean i still identified with the story closely being a child of immigrant parents growing up in a western environment.

Beautifully-written, heart-wrenching memoir about grief, loss, and learning to cope during and after a parent's death. Unflinching and insightful - a really resonnate piece of writing.

This is a gorgeously written and heartbreaking memoir exploring the depths of family, grief, and trying to exist as yourself. Truly beautiful.

5.0

This book made me both laugh and cry--I love that in a book. I thoroughly enjoyed the reflective nature of Zauner's memoir and the way she told a heartwrenching story through food. As a mixed race person living in America, I can sympathize with the struggle of finding your place in the world while caught between 2 (or more) different cultures. Telling her story through the recipes she learned snd recreated throughout this period of her life was a clever way of enlivening her narrative through taste and smell. Truly a fantastic read.

michelle zauner is a talented writer. for anyone who has ever gone through grief, she has a way of taking you right back there, which is a very difficult experience for the reader but a wonderful demonstration of zauner’s abilities. i loved the tidbits about her relationship and how peter was always there for her. also, i think this book has an iconic first sentence. i liked pretty much everything about it except for the essay “dark matter.” it just didnt feel as impactful as the others to me.
