    “Loved this memoir! Listened to the audio book, which is read by the author. You can get autographed and personalized copies from the author's website. Youngmi Mayer also has a Substack that you should most definitely follow.”

    “I married into a Korean family and we ALL wish this book existed a long time ago, there is no voice out there as singular and scathing and funny and heartbreaking than Meyer. She explains Korean familial dynamics in a way that is both shattering and heartwarming, I'm not sure how else I can explain it so you will just have to read it. Follow her socials too.”
