emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

This memoir was beautifully and evocatively written. Reading this felt very real and honest in the way it describes the family dynamics and mental health struggles. Throughout her childhood to adulthood, she always races towards the American dream, wanting to fulfill her parents' wishes. Until the end when she finds her passion for art and can live for herself truly. As I was reading through the memoir I felt myself going through a roller coaster of emotions and I could find myself relating to Hyeseung. This memoir was impactful for me and I think that her story will help others.
