Crying in H Mart

3.5 stars. I think giving reviews on books that you love (or loath) is much easier than reviewing a book that you thought was good, better than good, but not great. I enjoyed this book. I felt like the first chapter was a home run. It could have been a stand-alone article and I would have enjoyed it. The rest of the book was good but didn't have the same flair. Writing about grief and trying to understand it is a huge undertaking and I thought the way she used her personal experiences with culture, life, and food expressed her love and appreciation for her mother well.
