Yet the ordinary, I realized, became like cherished treasure when taken

I would not love, unless I was loved first and loved the most.

I would be nothing at all, if I could not be first.

such a sweet book, asian folklore novels are really something!

BANGERRRR I ATE IT UP AND WOULD READ IT OBSESSIVELY ON MY COMMUTE. ITS REALLY GOOD AND THE PLOT WAS SOO YUMM. I LOVED THE CHARACTERS AND THEMES IN THIS STORY but omg there was thing one that annoyed me. it was how everyone literally exposed their deepest secrets to her everytime she asked. likeeee. but nonetheless a banger

Actual rating: 4.5
Wonderfully narrated story of a nurse who gets caught up in a murder mystery during the Joseon dynasty. While I wish there was more in the epilogue, every part of this story was worthwhile!
