mikaylaslibrary's review against another edition
3.25
The writing style is gorgeous, and I loved the first part of the novel. It just went downhill from there.
I think that there were too many characters and not enough time to finish the novel. I loved Sunja, Yumi and Isak, but the rest of the characters all felt very similar.
The story is absorbing, and I did read it quite quickly, but I felt it should've been either longer, or two shorter books. The beginning and ending were very sweet, and tied the whole story together which I loved.
I think that this is a really interesting novel, and will definitely be someone's favourite. However, it just didn't work for me.

Also, no spoilers, but one character's death shocked me so much I kept reading the paragraph over and over, and I think it will stay with me for a long time.
Rating it 4 out of 5 stars because
