This was such a beautiful memoir. I feel like this book wasn't necessarily written for an audience, but more for the author herself, as part of her grieving and healing process. Listening to Michelle talk about her family using such raw emotion was both heartwarming and devastating. I also loved the food aspect, given I'm a foodie (and I've never had Korean food before, but this book definitely made me want to try it!) I thought this was a heartbreaking yet powerful book about a mother and daughter’s bond and how irreplaceable that bond is, which reminded me a lot of mine and my mother's relationship. I’m not rating this 5 stars since it didn’t *amaze* me as much as other memoirs have and some parts felt choppy/non-cohesive. Definitely recommend, though!
