Mr. McCane
I couldn’t wait for this book to end. I didn’t hate it, but I definitely didn’t love it. Memoirs are my favorite genre and extremely hard to rate and review. Based on all the hype and outstanding reviews, I went in blind.
This book is about Michelle, a mixed-race girl (Caucasian and Korean) who acts out because she has an abusive mom who we later find out is dying. Her dad isn’t much better.
Michelle now tries to rekindle a broken relationship by blaming herself and acknowledging that it’s not her fault.
Michelle uses food to help with love, loss, and remembrance. She also has a passion for music. I loved the music parts but did not enjoy the sections about food.
I found myself uninterested in the characters and was ready to go. Yes, it was a sad story, but respectfully, it wasn’t for me.
I thought I would enjoy it more since I lost my mother, but I did not. It may hit harder for people who can relate culturally.
