This is why I have trust issues. This book was not it. Glad I didn’t purchase it.

3.5 - this was hard to read. Following the daily life of a woman in nyc who struggles with mental illness, especially ed's. Explores self harm, mental and physical illness, family, relationships, etc. Its very well written but woof could be super triggering. Read with caution

I absolutely loved this book. It felt like there was a little bit of myself reflected in both sisters, both in a way I loved and hated. This was the first book I've read that comes from a Korean American perspective, and the little details that Choi included from that felt so relatable, validating, and almost like fun little easter eggs (I kept internally yelling, "I AM a Korean American millennial!"). The details in each characters' different little quirks and habits made this such a rich story where no one felt one dimensional or "convenient".
