Tastes Like War by Grace M. Cho

challenging emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

as always, it's a tad bit odd for me to add my thoughts to a memoir and this one is especially hard because it not only deals with the author herself, but with the authors mother in a deeply intimate way. i cant even begin to imagine how hard it must have been to write this book.
