WOAH! The first and third act of this book was masterful. The craft and choices throughout were intense and jaw dropping. I wish that we could’ve continued hearing from Yeong-hye like the first act. But amazing. The second act while important was a little too much at times. Definitely don’t read at work like I did. Narratively this book was great, I loved how it switched perspectives each act. I really want another book with more family members, especially Ji-woo. Does he stay happy once he learns of controversy?? Great read I highly recommend
