This was a powerful YA fantasy!
First off, I loved that the story was inspired by the authors‘ grandparents and their romance during the Japanese occupation of Korea. Drawing on real life experiences gave the story a ton of emotional depth.
I also enjoyed the dual POVs. The story is told in alternating points of view of the two leads, Seung and Eunji.
