3.5

I LOVE the way Choi creates such vivid characters, and at times this felt like a memoir rather than total fiction. The emotions of each character, Jayne especially, are so real, raw, and motivated by their personalities & histories. The reason I didn’t give this book a higher star rating was because, while I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, I do not see myself coming back to it & it‘s not something that will stick with me in the long term. Would recommend giving this a read though!
