Perhaps I don‘t eat enough Korean food, or because I am vegetarian and squeamish of descriptions of devouring live seafood amongst other things, but I did not love this the way many readers seemed to.
My mother also died at the age of 56 - far too young - and I found myself crying in all kinds of circumstances and places so I could relate to Zauner‘s story, I just did not find it particularly engaging or original.

Fabulous

#MentalHealthMonday

1) I‘m ok today. Feel like last week‘s funk is dissipating. Had a good walk this morning, did some chores and got groceries. Ready to start the week.
2) Daily walks, lots of pug snuggles, lunch with a friend and hubby is home for the next ten days.

A coming of age story about Lily, a quiet Asian girl, learning to find her voice.

This book was accidentally purchased for my 3 year old from a friend. It was a cute story.

This one... wow. I laughed, I cried, I felt so many emotions along the way. What I thought was going to be a simple YA love story turned into so much more: commentary on identity and belonging, how it feels to have to parent our parents, the complexity of race, and the persistence of change as we march through life. This is a beautiful, relatable, heartbreaking book.

A raw and powerful book about love and loss. Michelle details the complicated relationship she had with her mom and the devastation her mom‘s cancer diagnosis and death wrought in her life. As a half-Korean American, the loss of her mom unmoored her from a part of her life and heritage she was desperate to keep. Her growth and confidence that came over time was compelling to read.

Just finished this cute YA romance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
