I really liked the writing but didn’t fully get into the story. This book follows Rowan, a girl who was adopted from South Korea by white parents. We see her struggle with her identity, make dubious life choices, and then finally come back to herself.
I loved Rowan’s inner voice. Absolutely loved her as a character. I just couldn’t empathize with how she managed the situations she was in. I feel bad for all she went through by the end of the book, but I’m sorry, her mom still didn’t deserve that.
Overall, it’s a good book and I can’t wait to read more from Lauren J. Sharkey. I would recommend this book to people who liked “A Little Life” by Hanya Yanagihara.
