Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
5.0
i absolutely loved this book. there were more than a few moments when i had the choice of to cry or to keep turning pages.
i've been really into memoirs recently (a lot of them dealing with grief). this one has been my favorite by far, and also the one i relate to the most, even though i've never been to h mart.
grappling with a parent's cancer diagnosis. being around during chemo while feeling utterly useless. the connection between food and cancer really hit me and i really valued reading someone else's experience of the whole ordeal. of not processing and grieving like the people around you. of food being such a constant and painful conversation. in my case, no one died, but so many of those moments and feelings were so well captured.
i will be doing a lot more thinking about this book and may add more thoughts to this review.
