I DEVOURED this book within 24 hours, oh my gosh. I'm not familiar with the author's work, but I could immediately tell she's a poet. I LOVE when poets write novels, because their poetry comes through with their word choices, sentence rhythm, and narrative. I love how Jihyun Yun tackled grief and the idea of reincarnation through the vehicle of a horror novel. The setting—ocean and mulch and a tourist town drowning in rain—is the perfect atmosphere for Yun's story. Mirae and Soojin's dynamic was so so well done, and I practically inhaled this book, reading each page faster just so I could unravel the story's threads. I think this book is going to be one of my favorites of the year. Truly unmatched and beautiful.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

A deliciously creepy YA novel about a family with a gift…or is it a curse? The women in Soojin’s family can resurrect the dead, but can only do it safely with small animals. When Soojin brings her sister back, she is overjoyed…until it turns out her resurrected sister may be very different from the one who passed.
