Really beautifully written. I finished this quickly, it sucks you in and talks about dark subjects in beautiful and sad ways.

It was enjoyable, it went on some odd religious jaunts occasionally, with Joon-Mee the main character observing/conversing with God. But aside from those, I enjoyed it. 

There were parts I thought were silly, parts I thought were stupid, and part that made me want to cry. The book flowed but occasionally there'd be a shift of time, and you'd really have no idea how Joon had gotten to this point in her life, but still enjoyable.
