Goodbye, Again: Essays, Reflections, and Illustrations by Jonny Sun

I received a free ARC from Harper Perennial in exchange for my honest review.
Easily one of my favorite books of the year so far. The essays in this book are raw and vulnerable when discussing mental health and the specific sort of grief that occurs when you move from a place you've called home, leaving everyone else behind. There are heartfelt essays about plants and how they have impacted Sun throughout his life. And there's 15 straight pages of egg recipes that are emotional and funny and exactly how I want all recipes to be from now on. I didn't even make it through the foreword of this book without it tugging on my heart strings and that didn't stop until long after I closed this book.
