Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Wow this was so emotional and definitely hit me in my feels. I wasn’t expecting all the depth this book had. I ended up texting my mom halfway through to tell her how much I love her and everyone else should do the same after reading this! Michelle’s story was so heartbreaking and relatable. I didn’t know anything about Michelle before listening to the audiobook and I feel like she bared her soul to us. Normally I find memoirs boring but she kept me captivated the whole time with her life experience, being a mixed woman and of course all the descriptions of the delicious Korean foods. Seriously the book made me hungry. Although I am not Korean, as an asian and white woman I felt kindred to Michelle. A lot of her experiences as a mixed asian girl and woman are things I too experienced. I felt like I could relate to her a lot. I don’t know what else to say about this book besides read it. I would recommend this book over and over. The rawness left me speechless and I wish Michelle all the happiness.
