Color of Water by Kim Dong Hwa

As a teenager we follow through more romance and newly learning about sex, as well as responsibility, and letting go of the past to move towards the future. Again, found some funny parallels, and thought provoking questions, and some culture shock that kept this book an interesting and entertaining read.

Color of Earth by Kim Dong Hwa

This manga style novel follows a young girl as she learns about the differences between the genders and finds out about love. Some points of the plot really made me laugh and wonder how I would answer some of the questions that she is asking her mother and finding my own parallels in my life. Worth reading to see the differences in culture and how we grow over time.
