It is difficult for me to rate this book because I don't have any particular strong feelings about it. However, in comparison to how I rated other books, 4 stars seems fair enough. (edit: lowered the rating)
Anything that explores the relationship between sisters is going to get points from me.  I had some complaints about the writing style at the very start, but it either improved further into the book or I just got used to it.  Choi did a great job in exploring characters journey in how they deal with their struggles and how they begin to grow closer together. There are many themes and topics discussed that are by no means easy to tackle and I would argue that the author did a fair enough job doing so.
