Poignant in a way I wasn’t really expecting but meloncholic in a way I did. All the settings and descriptions were really vivid.

In-depth study of the Korean-American experience with almost real characters.

3.5 rounded up / wouldn’t read it again, but there are some parts that have stuck with me for a couple of days after finishing. definitely more character heavy vs. plot.

This book didn’t ring any bell to me. I didn’t really enjoy the writing style, and I think certain bits (many) could be taken out to make it shorter.
