Tastes Like War: A Memoir by Grace M. Cho
4.0
Type of read: Weekend/Lunchtime Read.
What made me pick it up: 'Tastes Like War' is the Big Library Read for May. Additionally, it fit the TN R.E.A.D.S challenge of reading a book by an Asian American author.
Overall rating: 'Tasts Like War' is a gut punch to your feelings and everything inside you that ever made you question who you are or why you're in the place you are doing what you do. I read this one so fast partially because my library loan was expiring and partially because it's just that damn good. I've said it before (and I'll probably say it with every memoir or personal book I read/review) but I always feel bad reviewing memoirs. These are books that people have spilled their soul onto the pages and laid it all out there for us to take in, judge, and experience. I would 100% recommend 'Tastes Like War' and I'm so thankful that the Big Library Read brought this onto my TBR.
