Book review: Crying in h mart by Michelle Zauner

Crying in h mart by Michelle Zauner is a heartbreaking but fascinating memoir in which she writes about the connection between her and her mother, her youth, and the power of food and cooking.
In the memoir, Zauner recalls treasured memories of her youth and describes her life in her childhood as a Korean American and now as an adult.  She also brings Korean dishes to life and describes the taste and smell of each and every one of the childhood Korean dishes she enjoyed and now making them as an adult to remember her mother who passed away due to cancer reasons.  Crying in h mart was one of the saddest memoirs I have ever read but in the memoir, you see what it is like growing up with a Korean mother and a Caucasian father and you discover traditional Korean dishes.
I feel like you would understand the author's situation better if you were in her situation before or went through a similar situation as she did.  This book has funny and joyful family gatherings, grieving or sad sections, and Michelle cooks to bring her mother back to life now as an adult which is really heartwarming to me.  Crying in h mart was a rollercoaster of emotions and events but five out of five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐for being my favorite memoir!  I would recommend this book for teens and adults 13+ as it has some course language written in the book.
Thank you for reading my book review of Crying in h mart and please comment and say what you want me to read next!

My favorite aesthetic google fonts

  Are you a person like me who uses Google docs, Google slides, or Blogger a lot?  If so, you might be getting tired of the same old regular font so I made a list of my favorite cute and aesthetic Google fonts! Indie flower:  Indie flower is a font that gives me kind of handwriting cartoon aesthetic vibes and I like using this font for titles or subheadings. Coming soon:  Coming soon is a clear and easy-to-read but cute font.  I like using this font for printables as it is easy to read for kids. Short Stack:  This font is much like Coming soon but bolder and this font gives me fun and happy vibes.  A great font to use for writing a presentation or schedule. Shadows into light:  The font gives me handwritten letter vibes and it is just a nice classic rustic style font. Shadows into light 2: Shadows into light 2 is just the same style as shadows into light but bigger and bolder.  Amatic SC:  This font is very light and the letters are very...

Book review: One of us is lying by Karen M. McManus

  This book has been on my GoodReads "want to read" list for a while so it was both satisfying to finally get it off my list but it was also a very thrilling and twisting mystery novel.  In this book, each character has their own section which I found kind of neat to see each of the perspectives of the characters and how different their personalities and lives are.  I would recommend this book for young adults 13 and up as it does have some coarse language and some mature circumstances and scenes.  The main characters in the book are Bronwyn who is an intelligent girl who comes from a family of Yale graduates, Cooper who is an all-star baseball player, Addy who is known at Bayview high as being popular and beautiful, Nate who is already on Probation for dealing drugs, and Simon who is the creator of the gossip app About That.  The five of them end up in detention and by the end of detention, Simon is dead.  This book made me feel a lot of emotions at one po...
