Winter in Sokcho was a lovely short novel with an interesting setting and characters. The story revolved around an underlying theme of love and acceptance while also tackling the topic of disordered eating, primarily binge eating. I think that overall it was a fun, short, light hearted read that left a lasting impression on me. I would have really loved to see the artist's character expanded upon which is why I'm giving the book 3.5 stars.
