I think Choi balanced the temporal and pov shifts really well in this story. It was fascinating to feel your understanding of these situations shift as the characters' perceptions and understanding shifted as well. The prose is also deliciously detailed and rich.

sophiebv's review
After reading a summary, I understand the point the book was trying to make and see the introspection it was driving toward. The writing style is meant to enhance these questions but I found it made it difficult to finish given how heavy the subject matter is. Absolutely not a romance book as it was labelled at my library, despite its focus on relationships.
