The Last Exiles by Ann Shin

3.0

This book held promise and I enjoyed learning more about life in North Korea, but the writing did not feel cohesive enough to me. I understand what the author was doing by switching between the two stories/ perspectives, but for me the book may have felt stronger had she kept her focus on just one story. The love story did not feel quite believable enough to me. I am glad I read it, however, and I did like it. I just didn't love it.
