Shelves: to-review
Excellently written debut novel about three students in 1970s South Korea. Namin, Jisun, and Sunam are all very different characters, with differing motivations - and up until the very end you're never quite sure who is the "main" character. They're all also extremely unlikeable at times which makes them particularly fascinating. I wasn't especially tickled with how Wuertz decided to use an epilogue to end her book, which knocked off a star for me, but overall I really liked it.

Thanks to Random

2.5 stars = it was just okay. I had high hopes for this book but everything from the plot to the characters felt flimsy to me.
