I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Se-hee

4.0

i'm all for open, raw conversations and i have no idea how tteokbokki tastes but i ATE this book up. i found myself underlining lines of every other page that seemed to be calling me out BAD but it's very refreshing to learn and see the author trying to understand her harmful behavioural patterns that she resorts to and finding ways to combat it, and starting over again. this is such a necessary book in my opinion, as the stigma and shame surrounding therapy in indian culture is still prevalent even though it feels a bit liberated among gen z. i loved the conversations i had read, and i would definitely come around revisiting this book soon.
