I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Se-hee
reflective
medium-paced
2.75
This is...fine. It's literally a transcript of Baek Se-hee's therapy sessions and some random musings in interim chapters. While Se-hee's feelings are relatable and her revelations vulnerable, some of her psychiatrist's advice feels misguided or harmful (though I'm sure there are cultural differences for which I'm not accounting), and there's much less analysis than I was expecting. So, while her thoughts and feelings resonated with me a lot of the time, it doesn't feel particularly helpful and exists more as a space for the author to vent.
