j_sunday 's review for:

Marigold Mind Laundry by Jungeun Yun
3.0

The intention of this book is to inspire and energize people with imagination.

A woman who has exceptional powers has decided to create the “Marigold Mind Laundry” where stains on the hearts are removed from the customer’s shirts. It instills positive thinking, joy and love. Examples of five customer’s setbacks are shown with their aching past and they have a choice of removing theses bad memories. Yet, can sadness give you strength?

The story may work for some readers who need a boost of encouragement. However, I found the laundry idea to be far-fetched and had a difficult time paying attention to the words. I wasn’t familiar with the people’s names and their food which made it more of a struggle. However, this book may help others who are depressed from their past and need to be lifted up knowing that people in different parts of the world have similar problems.

My thanks to The Dial Press and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book with an expected release date of October 1, 2024.
