Narrator Joy Osmanski's voice, accents, and characterizations sweep listeners into this realistic and emotional story of Korean-American sisters Jayne and June Baek. The two, who are in their early 20s, are as different as night and day. June is motivated, confident, and has a job in finance. Jayne is needy, snarky, lives wherever she can, and barely ever makes it to her college classes. They have not spoken in more than a year, but when June is diagnosed with cancer, they try to put aside their differences, only to discover they are both hiding deep, dark secrets. Listeners will appreciate Osmanski's dramatic flair, which allows listeners to feel the conflicts between the two sisters in this contemporary story of sibling rivalry.
