Forte:
- I liked the chapters about Cathy's experience with counseling therapy and the relationship with her mother.
Shortcomings:
- The chapters lack cohesion and were confusing in terms of time progression.
- The book is marketed as an Asian American memoir, but a big portion of the book is neither memoir nor about the Asian American experience.
- I got the feeling that Cathy is avoiding telling her own story and reverting to the story of others.
- One chapter about Cathy's college years shows that a friend abused Cathy, but there is never an acknowledgement of the abuse. It is rather dismissed as a character flaw.
If you want to read about Korean American Woman's experience, I recommend Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner.
