Please Look After Mom by Kyung-sook Shin

3.5

Please Look After Mother is about a family who tries to find their missing mother after she disappears at a subway station. While searching for her, each of them starts to realize how much they have overlooked and misunderstood her all this time.

I found this book sad and thought-provoking. It really makes you appreciate the people around you more. I can't even pick just one favorite part, but I especially loved reading from the mother’s point of view — it hit me the most.

After finishing it, I just felt like hugging everyone in my family. It reminds you how sometimes we only realize the importance of someone after it's too late.
