It was alright. I teared up a few times. The descriptions of food were verbose and evocative, sometimes excessively so. I love Maangchi.
This is a story of grief and mourning, of finding your identity and how it changes as you grow, relationships and connections.

4.5
This book is very detailed and that helps capture the story and feel like you're living it, but also is very detailed about the stuff I wasn't as interested in. The story's non linear elements, particularly at the start didn't really do it for me.
Overall a really good read.
