“You’re choosing for another when you make choices. We overlap. We get tangled. You can’t help but hurt.” (233)

This quote from the book is the best way to describe it’s story and meaning. The first half was pretty slow and hard to grapple. I got a little bored but at the second half I really understood what was happening & what the story was about. I loved the ending, though it was very heartbreaking.

Lots of internal monologue and analyzing of other characters. Choi really plays with trusting characters and unreliable narrators. She is clearly a very talented writer!

This book was very compelling at got me out of a significant reading slump, but also very challenging to get through the further I read. I liked the way Choi played with my expectations as a reader and the way in which things were revealed — slowly but also all at once. Definitely one that will stay with me for awhile not only because of the distressing subject matter but also the gorgeous and varied prose.
