I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokpokki by Baek Se-hee
3.0
Finally finished another book. It’s been slow going lately. Trying to prioritise reading more.
Mixed feelings on this one. Really liked it at the start, felt like I was just truing to finish it near the end. While relatable and cathartic, it can also be frustrating and insufferable. Had a lot of issues with the psychiatrist pushing medication and diagnosis all the time. Also had issues with the judgement placed on other people from both the author and psychiatrist. Though I do appreciate and respect the pure courage the author took and continues to take having put themselves out into the world in such a raw way. The first page made me tear up.
