I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Se-hee

reflective medium-paced

3.0

The first half of this book was beautiful and had a solid structure as transcripts and reflections from a series of therapy sessions. The narrative came to a comfortable conclusion with notes from the psychotherapist and an epilogue about Baek Se-hee's life. However, the book then continued an internal reflection in a seemingly unnecessary way with multiple chapters after the conclusion, which made me feel uninterested. The writing was good and should have been involved in the main structure instead to avoid it feeling rambling.
