Yoon tackles themes of immigration and destiny with a light touch, never overshadowing the central love story. The alternating perspectives and short chapters give the book a cinematic quality, making it impossible to put down. It’s a reminder of how love can be both fleeting and everlasting, depending on how you choose to see it.
