Michelle Zauner isn&#8217;t perhaps the most likeable person, especially as she relates her childhood, but she is bluntly honest about herself, her relationship with her mother, and her life. A lot of her experiences resonated personally with me, but even if you aren&#8217;t the child of immigrants or of mixed race, the themes she writes about&#8211;love, family relationships, grief&#8211;are universal. The author and her family expressed much of their love through food, and the author&#8217;s descriptions of cooking her way through grief were especially poignant.<br>It&#8217;s a straightforward read, and anyone who has dealt with the death of a loved one, especially a parent, will find much to relate to in this breathtakingly honest and heartbreakingly honest memoir. I highly recommend it.<br><br><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/1396812-may\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was really looking forward to reading this memoir, and it did not disappoint.
