Marigold Mind Laundry by 윤정은, Jungeun Yun

emotional inspiring lighthearted relaxing

Marigold Mind Laundry was a really charming and healing read. Its messaging was a little heavy-handed at times, but overall, it was a really warm and comforting experience. 

The concept was super unique, despite the individual characters having trauma and stress about very real situations, the storytelling itself had a very dreamy fairytale-like quality to it.  I enjoyed all the different scenarios discussed and I like how different characters dealt with their past pains and traumas. It showcased how people heal in different ways and that there is no one right way towards healing and growth. My favourite storylines were of Jaeha's mother and Eunbyeol the influencer, they really stuck with me, as they both showcased how women struggle to be providers for their families in different generations. 

I rate it slightly low because while the description of the love story was sweet, I don't think so much time needed to be spent on it. However, I dont think it took away from my overall enjoyment that much. 

A quick lighthearted read for when you need a pick-me-up.
