Jim's Review
🐛
Four generations of heartbreak, resilience, and love — Jim devoured this epic like a worm through a library's worth of pages. Min Jin Lee writes with such quiet power that Jim found himself completely absorbed in a world he knew nothing about. Every character feels so real that Jim wanted to crawl right into the story and give them all a hug. This is the kind of sweeping saga that reminds you why reading matters.
