“That was the first time he sobbed in earnest. Not the cries of someone driven mad with fear, but the tears of someone who understood and was saddened by their own loneliness—the tears of a human being.”

I can tell part of this book has a bit of a cultural wall I can't break through. Some stories shined regardless of that but others felt like a story told to me in passing.

You gotta like and be open to a lot of genres to truly enjoy this book, magic realism, fantasy, fables. You have to be okay to not have all the answers cause if you don't, you'll end up like me disappointed. Wanting more or feeling like there was space for a few more pages to give a more concise closure.

I love this book oh my godddd its so horrible and twisted and miserable and beautiful and so unreal! I feel like Chung reached into my dreams and pulled something out and slapped it on the pages with a full backstory. This ones truly for the girls, the brutal girls.
