Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
5.0
This is the best memoir I've ever read. It is a quietly devastating and searing emotional journey filled with such deep sadness - an incomparable grief brought on by a loss incomparable to any other - the loss of a mother.
The complicated mother-daughter relationship is portrayed so expertly, weaving in aspects of the impact of being multiracial, immigration, family dynamics, teenage angst, friendships, marriage, and the pursuit of passions.
If you've experienced deep loss, you will both love and hate how acutely you relate to some passages, taking solace in the fact that you are not alone while also wishing, desperately, that we had not all suffered such dreadful loss together.
