This is my first time reading anything by Choi and i ejoying it so far. it's reminded me of my little sister (as the older sibling, why am i literally june :' ) and it reminded me of feeling lost in my twenties. Yolk is a story about sisterhood, a messy, distant kind of relationship that-when you peel back the layers (and there are many)-is ultimately full of love.
Though not as easy read & despite not really liking Jayne's romance story line (I actully could have done without it & just read about her and June), the authenticity & realitability of the sibling relationship outweighed any cons.
