The Good Son by You-Jeong Jeong
5.0

i didn’t see the repetition of elements as a point of weakness in this book. i feel that the details that kept repeating were to be interpreted in different ways each time, because each time they were mentioned it was in a different setting and we had more information to relate them to, such as the woman with the pink umbrella and the drunk man getting off the bus detail repeating itself multiple times until we have enough knowledge about the situation to know the truth about the two. i completely loved this book and couldn’t manage to put it down. 100% agree with whoever says that this needs a movie adaptation as well!
