4 / 5
I have to admit that I really enjoyed reading Yolk. Although I found some of the storytelling and characters to be a bit pretentious and unlikeable, the overall story was very engaging and kept me hooked until the end.
The story is told in a way that keeps you engaged from beginning to end, even if you're not a big fan of the characters. The book explores a range of complex issues, from sisterhood to mental health, and the author handles each one with sensitivity and insight.
While I can see how some readers may not connect with the characters, I found myself invested in their stories and rooting for them throughout the book. I think that Yolk is a great read for anyone who enjoys contemporary fiction with a touch of humor and heart.
