Do you ever wish that you could wash away bad memories like stains on a dirty shirt? This is an enchanting book following Jieun, owner of a magical laundromat, and her customers as they cope with trauma, loss, and the passage of time using friendship and magic.
The book is a bit repetitive when meeting each customer, but later picks up. Jieun sometimes uses corny messages to encourage her customers (such as smiling to trick your brain into being happy), which is a bit basic, but sometimes we need that reminder. The end is not very satisfying, but is sweet nonetheless.
