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.

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.

kitausu's review against another edition

DNF a little under the 50% mark

I didn't stop this book because there was anything wrong with the book. The writing is visceral and powerful as is the story. I'm just not mentally in a place to read it.
