The coziest book I’ve ever read. The  lives of a small cast within a neighborhood book shop. Though simple, there’s relatable depth to each of the characters who reflect on their disappointments, decisions, and wishes. With a bit of love and theme of the importance of reading I will be recommending this book to everyone!

I thought this read similar to Pachinko - Korean historical novel with multi-character storylines and perspectives across generations. However, this book centers around the Korean concept of inyeon and contains more depth to political affiliation during and after the Japanese occupation. While’s there’s romance, it’s not the k-drama kind.

A cup of cozy, a dash of adventure, a sprinkle of mystery, and a knob of action. I’m looking forward to book two!

I loved A Woman Is No Man and this book is even better! Evil Eye focuses on the multigenerational trauma within a Palestinian family focusing on Yara, a daughter, mother, and wife who navigates her trauma and oppressive relationships. 

I loved There There but I this sequel was so much more. The depth this multigenerational narrative gives in showing the humanity of addiction, reclamation, and healing is humbly captivating.
