I loved learning about Korean culture in this book! This was identity and character development, in a playful but honest way. This book is about relationships, friendship and family love - which is all complicated in their own way.
The tone moves from playful, to more melancholic at the end. It wraps up well, but the last ~50 pages are sad to read.
This book disguises itself as a romance, but it’s really about meeting parental expectations and finding your identity inside of your born-to culture. Who you are is not entirely determined by your race, country of origin, who your parents are or the decisions they made.
‘Love is a belief mutually held. As soon as that belief fades on either end, then poof, the whole thing falls face flat like a tug of war suddenly gone one sided.’
