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

I appreciated the last 25% of the book the most, and wish the rest of the book had been more in depth reflections of what she was going through a bit more like this last bit. the author doesn’t try to be like able and acknowledges her bad thoughts. I think most people have thoughts they might not be willing to share with anyone and it was oddly refreshing to get this type of non filtered view into someone’s mind. There were some things that I don’t know if they’re helpful to write down so check trigger warnings, even though some of the shaming is towards herself this might not be for everyone.

I’m both surprised and not surprised at all that a book like this has become so popular.
