I thought this was a very good debut novel. Writing a narrative that spans decades is no easy feat. This isn’t the best attempt I’ve read, but it’s solid. Sometimes I felt like things got skimmed over, and it was kind of disorienting to revisit a character years later. I felt like we got so much of Lotus and Luna in the beginning, but then they dropped off when I wanted to glimpse more of their stories.
Overall, this story is beautiful, heartbreaking, and bleak at times- fully reflective of life. There are some gorgeous, gorgeous sentences and paragraphs throughout. I will totally read more of Juhea Kim’s work in the future.

This was cute. Emily Henry’s books have become an escape for me, and they’re always fun to read. I think I liked People We Meet On Vacation a little more, but this is still worth the hype. Definitely read if you’re already a Henry fan or if you love romance!

This was a pretty well done thriller. The twist at the end was pretty good and the red herrings throughout were pretty convincing. Overall a really fun read.
