A memoir that was heavier than I expected. Touches on lots of topics so check trigger/content warnings.

Lushly illustrated, a pensive coming of age book that touches on belonging, mental health, friendship, family and art. Read this if you are ready to dive into a memoir that will demand empathy and holding space for swirling emotions.

Booktalk:

Caught between her American upbringing and her Korean roots, Jung-Jin Lee, who goes by Deborah, is struggling with transitioning into high school. She is struggling with a mother who has unrealistically high expectations and falters between supportive and abusive. Deborah ultimately discovers her love of art and makes a new friend. This book is sometime hard to read but is a powerful look into what being an immigrant and a high school student can be like.
