![]() ![]() June, the eldest, is driven, works in finance and has the kind of New York apartment we all want (amenities!). Both have moved to New York from Texas, living very different lives. Now, Mary will be publishing her newest novel, Yolk, which chronicles the relationship between Jayne and June Baek, Korean sisters who used to be extremely close but now basically can't stand each other. So I took Permanent Record home and promptly forgot about it. I loved her honesty, her wit and the level of fandom she had from the other attendees. Her previous book, Permanent Record, had just been published and I made sure to purchase a signed copy before leaving the event. ![]() ![]() Honestly, I went to this event to see Jenna because I'm a HUGE fan of hers but by the time I left, I was also in love with Mary. I remember back in the pre-Covid days going to an author event featuring Mary H.K. Another part of me wonders if she’s secretly Republican. ![]() Part of me is proud that she gets to have all this-knowing that we come from the same place and that she’s earned it. Sort of how some people’s news is the opposite of yours or how their phone configurations are alien if the icons are the same. I never get to be this high up, and it’s wild how June’s New York has nothing to do with mine. ![]()
