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

informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

This was a really interesting read that stresses the importance of being kind to yourself and getting help if you think you need it. I can definitely see how a lot of people have related to the author, and I love the message that even if you’re not extremely mentally ill, your negative feelings are still just as valid and deserving of treatment. I see a lot of books written by or for people with debilitating mental illnesses, but this is something i can connect to much more easily. The chapters are short and easy to read, and I like that a lot of the time the author gets straight to the point without a load of unnecessary waffle. I’m super grateful to the author for sharing her story in an effort to make others like her feel more seen.
