I don't really love reading memoirs in general - they don't hook me, and I get bored after a while. BUT THIS MEMOIR WAS EVERYTHING. Her storytelling and vivid descriptions of food, her stories of love and loss, her connections to the places of Eugene and Seoul, and so much more. I loved all of this! It was a really powerful story that I felt deeply.
