Everyone in this book sucks except for Shawn and Aunt Sheila. The book makes you uncomfortable on purpose, which is good. A deep look at anti blackness in Korean  American communities.

This book did an excellent job of examining both sides of this story. So much so that it’s infuriating at times. So it’s very realistic in that sense. Some of the editing on the audiobook was off putting, but I enjoyed having the two readers.

Two words to describe this book: solemn and slow.
Its solemnness is heavy, and it doesn’t go away after it enters in the beginning of the book. This tone works well for this type of book, but combined with the slowness, it’s a very tiring reading experience.
Its slowness makes the plot crawl by, making it a bit tedious to read. Although it has some great ideas, its execution feels like a slog because of its slow pace.
