The Marigold Mind Laundry

Welcome to the Marigold Mind Laundry, where you can wash away the memories you wish to erase..

The premise of this book was quite interesting – would you want to wash away your most hurtful memories, even though they may alter who you are today?

I'm unsure if it was executed properly and thoroughly by the original text or the translation. At times, it was confusing, as we were not fully invested in each character, which I think is a flaw for stories that come in bits and pieces and eventually come as a whole. I will say, however, once Hae-in came in, I needed to know what made him different from the others. It was a happy ending, and I did enjoy it.

This author has written multiple self-help books, which may be another cautionary note for those who may prefer a deeper storyline and strong character development. However, if you love self-help messages integrated intentionally into a fictional story, this might be the book for you.
