Yolk by Mary H.K. Choi

4.0

i picked up this book purely because i thought the cover looked cool lmao. but i was really glad i did because i fell in love with choi's writing style! i'm a sucker for contemporary that is well-written, and this book definitely fits that description. the story was so moving too. the main character's pain really resonated with me; from her insecurities to her eating struggles, everything just hit close to home. the family dynamic in the story also felt very real. it was hard to choose a 'side' of who was right and who was wrong when it came to family struggles. i loved how we learned what happened to the mom at the end of the book; it was a plot twist that i really didn't expect and made me feel for the character so much more. overall, the story was moving, the characters were compelling, and the writing style inspired me to start writing again in my free time! i thoroughly enjoyed this book!
