What’s your favorite memoir, and why?

'The Girl on the Balcony' by Olivia Hussey, the actress best known for playing Juliet in the 1968 film version of "Romeo and Juliet." Why? She's very candid about everything that happened to her as a result of playing Juliet, to the point where one might second-guess any aspirations of becoming a star.

Memoirs of a Geshia by Arthur Golden(theres a movie too, they're both historical fiction).

The book is about a woman who lived during the time of WW2. Her and her sister were bought out by 2 different okiyas and separated from each other. Now, the sister escapes and is never heard from again after some time so we never get to hear her side of things. But I will give a trigger warning on both the book and movie: Theres some 18+ stuff thats very uncomfortable that caused both sets of media to be banned in China and Japan because of the misrepresentation of Geshia being a certain type of worker on the side of being the historical cultural artists that we all know them to be(NOVA wont let me type out the words I want to use and even got mad when I tried typing out the MCs name)

crying in h mart. it really stood out to me as an asian american, and im a huge foodie which it also touched on
