Yolk

Product Information

As daughters of Korean immigrants, Jayne and June feel the weight of expectation from their parents, and by extension, other families from their church group. For example, in some species the amount of yolk in an egg cell affects the developmental processes that follow fertilization. I couldn't stop narrating my real life and narrating what was happening, practicing what would happen if this book came out and I would have to say that, God forbid, something awful happened to my mother. It doesn’t help that on the rare occasion Jeremy introduces me to his friends—their eyes glaze over in disinterest.

What this book does best, I think, is capture the complex ambivalence that characterizes the love between an Asian kid and their immigrant family. There really isn't a lot to say about the book because so much of it is the sisters and the journey they go on. Understandably, it had been a really long time since I'd seen anyone, but it also had been a really long time since I'd gone outside or even talked to people on the phone or via text.Having a flawed main character is a tricky tightrope to walk, and there are definitely times when, as the reader, you want to shake her and put her on the right path, but that is also the beauty of Jayne—she feels so real. Mostly he focuses his efforts on a literary magazine that I’ve designed pages for but never seen in real life. While I’m so happy Jayne eventually kicked her mediocre, problematic-as-heck white ex to the curb and leveled up with Patrick, Choi mentions multiple times that Jayne’s dating history pre-Patrick included a lot of white men.
