This book has been on my radar for a long time, and I honestly don't think I ever really read the description. I just saw the title and knew I needed to read it. I'm sure my initial thought process made me think about it in similarity to Aokigahara in Japan, a Modern day Thriller about girls going missing.

Given the lack of insight I had into what this book was about, I loved it. I'm often a sucker for well written Historical Fiction, especially when it is outside the standard Eurocentric books.

Both sisters are interesting in their own way, and the way they interact with each other. It made me reminisce about my own relationship with my sibling.
But what I honestly loved was watching Hwani grow as a person and learn to discern her wants from those that had been placed on her. While also learning to rely on others to help make sure things work out.
