I love the beautiful ways she processed grief and described all the ways she tried to connect with her mom
A powerful account of grief and loss from a gifted writer--sometimes sweet, sometimes brutal, but always honest. It's a mother-daughter story, but also Michelle Zauner's story of finding her identity and navigating the two cultures that formed her as a Korean American.

This was so sad, but also so well written. It made me miss the days when I started learning about Korean food and had a lot of options to try it where I lived. Don’t have those options where I live now and I developed some major cravings reading this! I was worried it would be depressing, being about her mother dying, but while it was sad, it still managed to be hopefuland even funny at times. Very well done.
This book is beautiful and heartwarming as well as melancholy. A beautiful exploration of the relationship between mothers and daughters and a shared culture and most of all shared food.
