read for Popsugar 2019 Reading Challenge: a book with a plant in the title or on the cover

Probably more of a 3.5, but I'm rounding up because I really love the dynamic between Chung and her sister. It's always weird to rate a memoir, and the things I didn't like were more about the writing and what she chose to include. I really wanted a bit more from her adoptive parents when she starts the process of finding her biological family. I was a little surprised at how short the book was, and I was definitely left wanting a bit more from the story.

I'm really have happy to have read this! The only book I can think of off the top of my head with adoption as a focal point is [b:The Love That Split the World|25467698|The Love That Split the World|Emily Henry|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1433990957s/25467698.jpg|45236172] by Emily Henry. However I didn't love that as a well-respected Native author, Debbie Reese, wrote very critically about how poorly the adoption was handled of a Native child to white parents. All this to say, I really appreciate Chung's candor and her willingness to share the complicated history of her family. It definitely makes me feel motivated to read more stories about adoption, specifically from adoptees.
