These books have to be read together Book 1, Binding 13, ends on a huge cliffhanger. The story was fabulous and the characters were awesome. It is YA but didn't read as YA. My favorite read this year. Highly recommend.
A YA retelling of Thelma and Louise, where two teens with horrible home lives decide to split town and go somewhere where they can live on their own terms. Some things were improbable, but not really outlandishly so. If you can just go along for the ride, it‘s entertaining enough!

I was extremely disappointed in this book - I learned more on the topic from the author‘s interviews than I did reading. I appreciate that the author wanted to work through her trauma but I didn‘t want to read the trauma dump and not understand the WHY of this timely and impotent topic.
0/5 listen to the interviews about this book and you‘ll learn more about the rising danger of the manosphere and the deadly consequences of misogyny
Fee is 12 when he joins the choir lead by Big Eric who soon starts sexually abusing him and other boys. The first half was beautiful. I loved the writing, the metaphors, depths&the way Chee handled the horror of sexual abuse. I also loved Korean folklore interspersed in the story because of Fee‘s heritage. I didn‘t care much for the college years. I thought they lacked the strength of the first half. Overall, a sad but beautiful book.
“We can‘t always control our circumstances, who our parents are, where we live, or how much money we make, but in those rare moments when we can shape our fate, when we do have the power to make our own happiness, we can‘t be too scared to do it.”
