Tastes Like War: A Memoir by Grace M. Cho

challenging emotional reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

I never thought this would be a rollercoaster of emotions when I picked this book out. This was so much needed after a reading slump, because on top of retelling of her mom's struggle, Grace slipped in a bit of research on history that I appreciate so much. I highly recommend this book :)
