Unidentified Suburban Object by Mike Jung

4.0

I was wavering between a 3.5 and 4 on this, but I think I'm going to give it a solid 4. The reason for the wavering is I wasn't sure why Chole's very concerned teacher backs away from a topic that I would have been all over as a concerned teacher

Spoiler

that her dad told her a story about her family that was actually plagarized from a book

and because certain elements of Chole's parents journey were left unclear

Spoiler

I don't know about in South Korea, but in the USA there's a lot of legal documentation having to do with being a citizen. I don't see how her parents could simply resettle in the United States upon will with making a lot of fake documents or pretending to have run away from North Korea

. However, in the end I think it makes a solid 4 because the plot twist was so unexpected and it wrapped up fairly nicely and good endings are hard to stick.
