I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Se-hee

emotional reflective fast-paced

3.5

I feel like Baek Sehee should have stopped at book one. Nevertheless, I understand that this book was an important look at growth and how healing is not a linear process. There are times when I find her extremely unlikeable, but I don’t think that’s necessarily her fault because of her illness and I can see why she is perceived as such - but having such thoughts also made me consider of what I think is a “likeable person”, and how I am, in my own way, minimising how she feels and how it has impacted her profoundly, no matter how “small” or “petty” I think she is. Although this book did not have the same impact as the first one did, it was still sufficiently thought provoking in a way that made me consider my own mental wellbeing, growth process and the concept of vulnerability.
