Thank you to all who participated in our October book club meeting with **I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki**.

# ‘Crying in H Mart’ by Michelle Zauner

The critically acclaimed and best selling memoir is the debut book by the singer and guitarist of Japanese Breakfast. Michelle Zauner talks about growing up as one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother’s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. [During a WeLive Jung Kook shared that he had purchased a copy of Crying in H Mart](https://i.imgur.com/W7t9lAa.jpeg).
