And Jayne becomes the only one who can help her. Once thick as thieves, these sisters who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York together now don’t want anything to do with each other. Jayne is an emotionally stunted, self-obsessed basket case who lives in squalor, has egregious taste in men, and needs to get to class and stop wasting Mom and Dad’s money (if you ask June). June’s three years older, a classic first-born, know-it-all narc with a problematic finance job and an equally soulless apartment (according to Jayne). One has cancer, the other has health insurance, so they swap identities based on the oldest gag in the racism. College student Jayne Baek majors in marketing at an unnamed New York City fashion school and strives to belong to in-crowds even as her first-person narrative voice delivers searing. Choi comes a funny and emotional story about two estranged sisters and how far they’ll go to save one of their lives-even if it means swapping identities. Yolk is about two twenty-something Korean sisters in New York Jayne and June. A young woman struggles with body image, sexuality, identity issues, and her place in the world. “Sneaks up on you with its insight and poignancy.” - Entertainment Weeklyįrom New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K.
