This is such a challenging but beautifully crafted autobiography of a first gen Korean American woman who struggles with finding her own voice as well as her own motivations. Told across her early childhood days in Texas through to finding her new life and career in the big city, she unravels a complex relationship that she has with her own family, mental health, and relationships. 

Beautifully written and poignant; definitely a good book to recommend to those who love Crying in H Mart or Minor Feelings. 

Many thanks to Simon and Schuster and NetGalley for the galley and opportunity to read and share my thoughts on this gem.
