![]() ![]() The love that the two sisters share is intertwined with jealousy, hatred and deep feelings of inadequacy. The relationship between the two of them is written is such careful detail, with a lot of emotion and incredible sensitivity. The relationship between Jayne and June is where this novel excels for me. The pain she feels is so visceral and it is so visible even though she tries to hide it. Jayne is struggling with a lot of emotional issues that I will not go into detail on as I think they need to be read instead. She is flawed and she is human which helped to make her character feel truly authentic. ![]() Jayne is a compelling and wonderful character to read about. I find that refreshing even though it can be very dark. Something you have to know going in to this authors books is, they are not a light read and they do not have naive characters. ![]() Mary’s books always dive into deep and meaningful topics and more often than not feature young adults on the older end of the ‘young adult’ scale as they are just about to enter adulthood. I have Emergency Contact on my shelves and you bet after reading this I will be finding time to read that as soon as I can. Choi has very quickly become an instant-buy and instant-read author for me. ![]()
