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

Hmm… i definitely left his book with a couple of lessons and reflections in my bag. It’s literally the transcripts of therapy sessions, it doesn’t get more realistic than that, but that also means any frustration you may have with the narrator ultimately leads with you empathizing because it is just so real!
I found some parts so relatable and some so frustrating but I guess thats the fun of reading.

I really enjoyed this one, quite a lot actually. If you’re in a reading slump, I highly recommend this, it’s short and really easy to get into.
I was fretful cause I was scared that it was going to be really heavy because I just finished another book that devastated me but no, this one is pretty realistic. It deals with heavy themes but it does it in a really realistic manner.
If you’re looking for a book that talks about grief this is the one. The author writes really smoothly.
I also enjoyed that the romance aspect is barely there and really took a backseat. It’s nice to see how we see more of their platonic relationship before giving us that hopeful tidbit at the end.
