Decided to give Tae Keller another try because I heard this book won the Newbery Award. So far, I'm still neutral about the book. It's not because I'm not interested in the story; it's more so that Tae Keller's writing style just isn't my vibe.

I have a feeling the stories from the star jars are just metaphors for Halmoni’s backstory. If I’m right, then I think this book is about healing from generational trauma or something.
One complaint: I wish the author would go all in with the star stories. In a way, she does make them feel atmospheric, like they’re folktales, but then she would drop jokes and that takes me out from the story.
