Absolutely gorgeous cover. The story itself is almost like a series of vignettes. I found some of the side characters' stories interesting, but in general, the 'life lessons' felt trite and simplistic. I skipped a few chapters to get to the ending coz I wanted to know if she will reunite with her parents.

IMO this format and the theme of this novel remind me of some of the kdramas like Tomorrow, Hotel del Luna, etc. I think this could be quite a chill kdrama to watch.

I really enjoyed this book! This author's prose is different to what I usually like.... It's direct, clean and straightforward as well as warm and emotional. I'm curious if this is unique to this author or more a feature of Korean lit - I will read some more Korean authors to find out!
