This book clung to me; it feels cathartic, real, and warm. Felt a little slow at parts but so glad I read it.

Extremely touching memoir

Spoiler alert: get ready to cry like a baby! It’s like reading about my own life. I thought so much about my mom, my family, my childhood. So much nostalgia. Loved reading it yet it was so difficult to keep reading because it was so much heart breaking.

So touching, such a tear jerker. Even I missed her mom at the end of the book.

I had to read this for my college writing class and am very glad I did the assignment! This book is the only book to have made me cry. I would highly suggest this book.

What a whiny, self-involved person.

Honestly this book was soooo good. Jumpscare tho because you will literally cry every page.

85% of the book is talking about food! So boring!

What a magical journey through the life of Michelle. Much like her music, she takes you on an exploration of rich feelings, tear streaked moments & stomach rumbling memories. Such a beautiful book about love, family, heartache and grief. But also of how to keep the memories of your loved one alive within you with traditions that span generations.

This book makes me think a lot about my families, friends and those who I have known for many years. Especially for my parents who are getting older and weaker, I wonder what good memories I will remember when I need those sometime later. It was much fun to read so may Korean words and phrases in a single book(never seen before!), and I felt both warm and painful feelings like the author had toward her mom, dad, aunts and cousins. I was a little moved by how much love she had and returned to her families in many ways.
