A review by freddie
I'll Be Right There by Kyung-sook Shin

5.0

Melancholic, somber, nostalgic... Stories of relationships (especially friendships) forged and lost almost always get me. I'm like a puddle of melted butter now. This novel is not one with a goal-based plot, but rather shows a progression of the characters' relationships with each other, spiced up with some crazy baggage from the past and equally crazy present. The story is set in 1980s South Korea, so yeah, things were *crazy* back then.
