I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Se-hee
reflective
medium-paced
2.0
I saw the title and laughed out loud, so I went into this book expecting it to be super relatable and full of dark humor... Sadly the title isn't really representative of the book's content or tone.
While initially excited to read transcripts of real-life therapy sessions, I ultimately felt those conversations were dry, lacking in depth, and repetitive.
I also struggled to relate to the author's difficulties and perspectives, even though the book's blurb suggested a lot of similarities between myself and the author.
