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

emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

From an objectively lense this isn't really a masterpiece or anything. But what this book definitely is, is that it's honest and comforting. 

Its vivid and repetitive just like the state of a mind dealing with depression and anxiety. 

Just like the author mentions in one of the essays how they hate being told to cheer up and would rather someone listen to them and empathise, reading this book I felt that someone could empathise with my struggles too. 

My only regret with the book is that I could have read it slower to take things in more properly but as I connected with the subject matter a lot that proved a struggle.
