5.0
There are some books you read, where it feels like someone is squeezing your heart throughout the story.
That was this book for me.
A beautiful story about a young woman named Haemi, living in Korea during the 50s and 60s. As well as the two men who love her, Kyunghwan and Jisoo.

What I found to be so heartbreaking, is you just know that Haemi could have thrived had she lived in today’s world.
I do wish that I had felt a stronger connection between Haemi and Kyunghwan in the beginning. If I had, I think I would’ve read straight through instead of taking a long break. But in the end, I fell so in love with Haemi’s character, flaws and all, that I ended up feeling everything.
