pickThis 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.
pickA 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.
pickWhat an interesting book, a memoir and tribute to her heritage. I loved the brutal honesty around their relationship and how she tried to atone it. I also appreciated the desperation to reunited her memories through family and visits.
pickSoft pick - thoughts about American beauty standards through the eyes of a Korean-American teenager who must decide how far she‘s willing to go to be perceived by her peers as beautiful.

As many know I live in Asheville NC. I have been incredibly lucky, my apartment only took very light wind damage and I live in an area that didn‘t flood. My workplace was under water to the ceiling, no idea when we‘ll get the shop operational again. But I am safe, my power is back but I have no water. FEMA distribution started today, so I have bottled water and I have plenty of food. So many are much worse off than I am. Please keep NC in your⬇️
