Skinship by Yoon Choi
5.0
emotional reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

What an astounding collection of stories. Not a "skip" among them. They each convey so much history, emotion, and character, in relatively few pages.

Not really a spoiler, I think: one of the best parts about this collection is how Korean immigrants/Korean-Americans are fully centered in each narrative. We're never reading these people through the lens of white people. White people barely feature in the stories at all.
