Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin
3.0
A very vibes-based book. The author did a great job describing the town of Sokcho and the feeling of being stuck, physically and mentally, but the characters themselves were lacking for me.

I would recommend this book to any femme who needs help knowing their worth or are told by friends they “deserve better” (from partners/jobs/etc.). While I’ve heard a lot of Afualo’s talking points before, her chapter on busting misogynistic myths was very thought-provoking. Her candid thoughts on feeling obligated to be a mother really hit home for me. I loved and appreciated Drew’s candor and humor throughout listening, and would recommend getting the audiobook if you pick this up.

A short and sweet comic about carving your own path and being the person you want to be, despite how others might view you. And I’ll read anything about queer cowboys!!!
