A review by nikki_flowers
Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi

5.0

I don’t even know how to begin to unpack this book. It is so raw and real and unflinchingly honest. The amount of depth Mary H.K. Choi is somehow able to fit into Jayne’s character, into Jayne’s life, is astounding. The way this novel explores the complex and ever intersecting identities Jayne holds (woman, Korean American, low income, disordered eating, etc.) felt more honest than maybe anything I’ve ever read. I have no idea how Mary H.K. Choi did it. This book has left my head spinning and I know it is going to stay with me for a very long time.
