Yolk is a complex story about a family, friendship and mental health. While it’s classified as YA, it reads more as a new adult book in my opinion. The story felt authentic and was well written. I also loved the imperfect sisterly bond between Jayne and June. Most of the characters were unlikeable from the start, but all of them had interesting perspectives and insights. The ending was kind of open, but it also ends on a really good point, nonetheless.
