I had the utmost pleasure of reading this a while back and adored every word. June's writing is breathtaking, her characters pull at your heart, and her mystery is both alluring and constantly leaves you guessing!
I am so excited that others will be able to read this beautiful book as well and that someone as deserving as June gets to have her words be out in the world.
Everyone, you are doing yourself a favour by adding this book to your TBR!

This is my bookclubs pick for May!
I found the main character very annoying as the story progressed and while it was a murder mystery novel I just didn't care. I'm not sure if it was the writing or the story itself but it was very disappointing as everyone else loves it and I didn't :(

Too many characters that I was never sure which ones I should really be caring about…this meant that when big reveals came around, they just didn’t hit that hard.
The Korean history didn’t fully set in until the authors note at the very end. Again, I was so focused on trying to decipher which characters were going to be important that I was never really able to appreciate the historical side of the book.
Will still be giving the authors other books a shot.
