Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

A very readable memoir filled with raw emotions, beautiful descriptions of food, honest words about the complex relationship with her mother. The first half of the book really hit home. Wanting your mothers approval yet fighting for own identity as a child, finding your place as a child of immigrant, harsh fights and words that stick with you years later. The last couple of chapters felt unnecessary for me - the reconnecting with her Korean family was sweet but felt a little dragged out.
