I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying by Youngmi Mayer

emotional funny informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

I was braced for some tragic and painful writing, which there is some of that, but I was impressed by Youngmi’s ability to package it all up in a straightforward, and at times even sarcastic tone. She covers her years spent in Korea and growing up her parents’ home. Then struggles in the US dabbling in substance use which never stuck, then her relationship with Danny, of Mission Chinese and their son’s birth. Family bonds - culture - I LOVED this!
