My first Mary H.K. Choi book and I can say I definitely enjoyed it! I really liked these characters and they felt so real with how realistic their dialogue and interactions with one another were. My main love for this book comes from the relationship between the two sisters. It was very complex and dealt with a lot of complications but in the end the sibling love is there. It was truly stunning to watch that relationship grow throughout the book. The romance was one I wasn’t convinced on initially but by the end of the book I did enjoy it. But there were also times that were toxic. Some of the things they said and did to each other honestly surprised me - maybe because I’m an only child. Maybe because they were estranged. But still. Jayne and June, being Korean-American, grew up in a rural town where their parents owned a small Asian restaurant. Not Korean or Chinese or Japanese, just Asian (code for American food with rice). What lingers longest is the resonating, multifaceted story of Jayne and June Baek…[Choi’s] openness—personally, culturally, geographically—gives her narrative a seamless, insider fluency; her writing is consistently assured, her dialogue nimbly tuned, even her pain potently channeled through Jayne's struggles.” — Shelf Awareness Pro Clark, Thomas B.

jayne is so mentally ill, she assumes the worst of everyone & assumes how they’ll make her feel & will essentially hate someone like her sister june for scenarios & assumptions she makes up & how she believes they’ll react. Honestly,” I tell her, convinced that all her friends are sylphlike and terrifying. “I have to leave right after this.” Well, okay, I don't LOVE it. Nobody loves pain and anguish and sorrow except Disney movie villains and people who work at the airport. But it is my sweet spot, my comfort place, what I know. No, come!” exclaims Rae, squeezing my forearm for emphasis. “God, I’m so awkward.” She laughs at herself ruefully. “It’s just an intimate gathering at a dear friend’s home. It’s a safe space, so I have to make sure it’s okay.” Her eyes narrow meaningfully, placing an open palm on my leg. “But if it’s a no, I hope you can respect that it’s nothing personal.” The yolk is not living cell material like protoplasm, but largely passive material, that is to say deutoplasm. The food material and associated control structures are supplied during oogenesis. Some of the material is stored more or less in the form in which the maternal body supplied it, partly as processed by dedicated non-germ tissues in the egg, while part of the biosynthetic processing into its final form happens in the oocyte itself. [1]even though i liked how it reflected real life through jayne & june's dynamic & problems with men & family, i did not have fun reading about someone who was in constant pain. when i say this book is heavy, i mean it is HEAVY. it is not an emotionally easy read.. it will rip you apart.

Most of all, the dynamic between Jayne and her older sister June—so reminiscent of Fleabag and her sister Claire—in all of its messy, spiteful, bewildering glory, compelled me from their very first scene together. When together, the sisters never try to masquerade as anyone they’re not, and I think this pretty aptly sums up Yolk, too: I find this story, Choi’s writing, so refreshing because it never tries to be more than it is. I’m not fed saccharine lines about protagonists that I’m clearly meant to love. Yet in all of her obnoxiousness, I find myself loving Jayne anyways, bullshit and all.Who said anything about Mom? I’m the one asking. You’re smart when you focus. I’m tired of people giving you a pass because you’re emotional .” roller-coaster ride of drama, intrigue, savagery, love, betrayal and heroism which makes the movies he adores seem almost trivial by comparison. RHL - The Man in the Mirror' by Jim Dales was launched with a private party at the Hunting Raven bookshop in Frome. Yolk was there, it was a 'standing room only' event and a lovely time was had He pulls his sunglasses out and cleans them with my napkin. Not so long ago he was beautiful to me. Partly because he’s tall. Not even New York tall but objectively tall. Over six feet. But it was his ambition that drew me to him. I’d never met anyone who could talk at that pace. It was astonishing. But now, I can see him how others might. His straw-blond hair and skin tone blend his features together in a vague soup, blurring an already uncertain chin.

It’s the typical, enigmatic hot-girl dross on her main feed, scones cut out onto a marble surface dusted with flour, her in a party dress in a field. A photo of her taking a photo in a mirror with a film camera. Frequent underage drinking. Jayne uses June's ID to drink at bars. Mentions of marijuana, shrooms, cocaine, wine, vodka, bourbon, beer, Champagne, vaping, cigarettes, and Ativan. Characters drink to get drunk and later have hangovers. I can,” she says through her teeth, crinkling her eyes and nodding in a way that suggests she’s garroting him in her mind. There is so much to love about this novel. First, our narrator, Jayne Baek. She's a listless twenty-year-old Korean-American college student who lives in an illegal sublet in New York. She shares the apartment with Jeremy, a polyamorous white guy she sort of had a relationship with. Not only is Jeremy scrounging off Jayne—over the course of a few months he only paid his half of the rent once—but he also gets her to help him with his 'projects'. Although Jayne hangs out with other people, she keeps others at length, partly out of fear of being rejected, partly because she doesn't want people to inspect her life too closely. Out of the blue, her older sister June shows up. June has a high-paying finance job, lives by herself in a swanky apartment, and, unlike Jayne, seems to have her shit together. The two sisters are not on the best of terms and in spite of living in the same city they have not seen each other for two years. Although Jayne isn't keen on making amends with her sister, her world is upended by the news that June has been diagnosed with uterine cancer. What follows is a heartfelt tale navigating the fraught relationship between Jayne and June.The yolk makes up about 33% of the liquid weight of the egg; it contains about 60 kilocalories (250kJ), three times the energy content of the egg white, mostly due to its fat content.
