Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi
4.0
Yolk is a very personal book that felt like a letter Choi was writing to her younger self. Jayne's self-image, behavior in relations, and how she utilizes them as a method of self-harm is raw and done bluntly. It genuinely feels like Jayne is laying out her bare thoughts without any form of flowery diction. Although the writing is clunky at times and the pacing wasn't the best, things improve by the second half and progressively get more emotional. This might be the first time a book had me crying the day after finishing it. I might carry the last chapter with me forever- .
