I LOVE this book. It is one of my favorite books! The ending is sad but I still recommend this book !
I actually figured this book out because of a book club. At first I was so bored reading this, but what caught my attention is in the middle of the book. This book is absolutely beautiful, but it had some Korean words so hears a tip. Halmoni means Grandma. Eggs mean baby. Unya means older sister. I cried at the last part. This is truly a blessed one of a kind book. 10 out of 10

I've read this book and was one of my favorites. I recommend it to those who haven't read it before. It has such a dynamic story with a sad but heartwarming ending!!
This book means a lot to me. I read it for Reading Olympics last year, and it was very meaningful for me, especially because my grandmother was sick at the time. The way the main character deals with her grieving helped me a lot when my grandma passed.
I got this as an early Christmas gift from a family member, and I was like, "Okay, I'm not totally sure I'll like it, but I'll try it!" The next day I start reading it, and guess what happens? It was finished by the end of the day!!!! I loved it! I love that it has so much diversity, and one of the characters is very near and dear to me because she is so much like my grandmother (in more ways than one!). At the end of the day, I highly recommend this book!
This book has a LOT of twists and turns, there is love, friendship, and sorrow. This is a great read
l like this book too.but the problem is that the writer doesn't have good English.
I think that this is purposeful.
This book is such a good book!!! It has a lot of twist and turns.If you like realistic fiction then this book is your best bet!!!!!
