Two things can be true at the same time. For me to give this book anything less than five stars would be an insult, and also, I will most likely never read it again.

Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner was a raw, honest and emotional memoir of grief and family relationships. I expected to have moments of sadness when I read it, but what I didn’t expect was how much it would affect me. I can disconnect from the thriller and horror novels that I read all the time, but this one connected to one of my deepest fears, so it was especially difficult to consume. Nonetheless, it was beautifully written and I recommend you read it, but check your own emotional state and trigger warnings before you do.
