I liked this because it made me rethink a lot of my relationships, I’d recommend Crying in H Mart as a similar read

I had a hell of a time getting through this, but that might not be entirely the book’s fault. This was my first required reading for my degree, so I felt pressure whilst reading it.
Honestly this book isn’t heartbreaking or anything, but it just gives you that sort of twinge in your chest. I liked some of the romantic scenes between Chef and Maybe boyfriend and Tablet Girl’s sister and Third brother so I think that’s where the books strengths lie.
Also justice for the real milkman omg
