I related to Junie a little. Maybe it's cause my name is Juniper. But she was really relatable when <SPOILER>she thought about killing herself.<SPOILER>
Anyways, it's a beautiful book and is educational (in the story and real sense) about the The Korean War.

A painful but beautiful story. Oh does a great job of portraying complex histories and modern issues in an accessibly way for YA readers. I especially appreciated the family relationships, which showed a dynamic I don't often see in YA lit.
