A review by leilaxx
Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi
4.0
The first book I’ve read of hers.
Yes, Jayne was vain and selfish, and her attitude and choices were uh questionable. She was suffering for a long time emotionally and physically; it took a toll and affected her daily life and decisions. I like how raw and imperfect she was. I hated her at moments and understood other times.
I don’t know how to even write right now. I don’t usually read this genre of relatable, especially as the daughter of immigrants living in a western world. Parents continue to work their bodies away and sacrifice everything for their children, yet there’s a lack of emotional presence and love. I’m blown away by how painful and relatable her experiences were. Jayne, whose parents sacrificed many of their lives and time for their daughters, immigrated to live among strangers.
Idk how to explain it, but her relationship with her parents especially hit home.
I don’t feel as though a review will suffice. I’m going to go journal it out and pour out my emotions.
Also, I loved Patrick lol.
