Status Updates From Aviary

Just started reading and can already feel this book being an intensely gripping and emotional XP 🖤

Wait a second... this seems like it's a weird girl horror. YESSSSSSSS

I'm usually not a stickler for plot holes but why is the guy in charge of this whole operation surprised that her passport is forged when she gave him her passport in the beginning?? He didn't notice that it was her sister's name?? The same sister that he was probably SA'ing?? 🤔🤔

“Unlike Hee-Young, I’ve got a cruel streak in me— from my mother, from my father, I don’t know. I could never love anything the way I love myself, and I know exactly what kind of mother I’d be.”

Damn girl

This lady's husband is such a fucking loser. I can't with this

‘“I don’t speak Korean,” she says, matter-of-factly. “The Soviets banned the language....”’

Damn

“my ancestors are Korean, like yours. We’re Koryo-saram—Koreans that moved to Vladivostok a century ago. Within two generations, my family had become part of the fabric—ranking members in the party, going to important dinners, working and living their lives. And then Stalin deported them all to Central Asia and left them to starve. Most of them did.”

Learning new things from this book goddamn

This is some Epstein shit

“When we’re finished, I glance at the mirror and my stomach rolls. Like hanbok, kimono are modest garments, but the interpretation in front of me is the Asian sister of Heta’s sexy milkmaid outfit— tight, short, and sleek.”

Omg noooo

They're making her wear a Korean religiocultural mask while wearing a kimono??? 😭
