It was alright. I teared up a few times. The descriptions of food were verbose and evocative, sometimes excessively so. I love Maangchi.
This is a story of grief and mourning, of finding your identity and how it changes as you grow, relationships and connections.

A beautiful piece of creative non-fiction, memoir and food writing; I really loved this. The section just before and after her bereavement made me cry in public. Zauner is such a talented writer and I can’t wait to both listen to more of her music and see what prose she writes next.

This book focuses very heavily on Michelle's mother's battle with cancer, and the struggle of caretaking through terminal illness. Michelle has a sometimes contentious relationship with both her parents. Her father deals with substance abuse issues.auteaandtales's review against another edition
