This book is a very specific depiction of complicated relationships and personal struggles. However, I also found it extremely relatable. It was hard to put the book down and I ended feeling satisfied and hopeful. Some of the symbolism was hard to grasp (ex. Yolk).

I honestly had no idea what to expect from this book, I just saw recommendations and I’m so glad I decided to read it. Their story is truly intriguing and also taught me so much about Korean American culture. I appreciated the rawness and

genuinely couldn’t believe when her sister stole her identity, though I could at the same time. Thank you to the fucked up American health care system.

Really loved how they portrayed the complicated relationship between sisters. It was a bit triggering in parts, about sexuality and gut wrenching descriptions of eating disorders.

Overall, made me reflect on my immigrant identity as well as my relationship with my siblings.
