Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

emotional reflective sad

5.0

“It felt like the world had divided into two different types of people, those who had felt pain and those who had yet to.”

One of my reading goals for the year was to try to read more Non-Fiction because I feel like it’s a genre that I don’t read too often.

Crying in H Mart is the type of book that I envisioned when I made that goal and I am so happy that I finally decided to pick it up.

This review won’t be like my usual ones where I attempt to make a joke because this book is really important to me in such a profound way.

I lost my grandmother in late January, on her birthday actually and though it’s almost been two months now, it feels like yesterday when I woke up at 12AM to go to the hospital where I saw her for the last time. She was my world and reading this book made my feelings of grief feel more concrete and seen. I felt like my suffering wasn’t my own reading this.

This is one of those books that you needed to read, rather than wanted to read.
