I did not expect for this book to impact my emotions the way it did. Min and Yu-jin's interweaved narratives - as one searches for the truth behind the other's death, which is slowly revealed through two different perspectives - portray stark differences between the Korean American and Korean experiences. The pressures each felt were related but very different, and even though I am neither, I could relate to parts of each of their struggles, especially Yu-jin's.
Graphic: Suicide and Stalking
Moderate: Sexual content, Racism, Homophobia, and Forced institutionalization
