Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi
3.0
No idea why it took me almost a month to finish this book, but I have been in such a big reading slump. It was definitely me and not the book because the book let me tell you, I will probably think about it for a few more days.
It took me a while to warm to both June and Jayne because they are so frustratingly determined that they don't need help when we first meet them. But during later chapters I found myself to love them. Their siblings' relationship is so raw and real, and I don't think that you will ever fully understand it without having been through it as well.
I loved the pacing throughout the book, it wasn't fast, and it showed the character growth in a good way. The author writes loneliness like no other, making it raw, physical, and all consuming.
Yolk showed the that some of us all have unpleasant secrets that we keep, but underneath that can be found — that we will still look after each other, even in our most desperate times.
