Oh my god, this was so good. I think the ending was a bit rushed for my preferences; it felt like once the mystery was solved, it was a mad rush through the epilogue, and I would’ve loved to read more slowly about the consequences. But regardless, still a great read. June Hur is absolutely one of those authors where I think would read anything she wrote, because she’s so good at writing emotional stories. She’s two-for-two on making me cry with one of her books, and not many writers can do that.
