Be prepared with your tissue boxes, this book is a bawler. Starting with Chung's childhood as an Asian adoptee to a white family in rural Oregon and going all the way to the present day, this is a beautiful exploration of loss, love, and family. Chung grapples with the death of her family members, never shying away from questioning the class disparities present in today's medical industry. The later half of the book is especially emotionally poignant as Chung experiences two losses back to back in the middle of the pandemic. Above all, this book will make you call your mom one more time.
