Calling all Mariah Carey fans!

The Magical Language of Other by E.J. Koh
“For people looking for a sad childhood story that showcases the process of how the main character overcomes her setbacks. Inspiring and may be relatable to you.” - HappyCaff
Sad but an engaging book with positive messages in between! The first time I read this book It left me wondering about what I would do if I was in her childhood situation in her book. It was engaging enough for me to read it a second time and really pause to take time to observe the messages being sent throughout in the books. Throughout the book the mother staying in South Koreas sends letter to her child in California that she had abandoned for a career. The author does a really good job on displaying the feeling of both characters and I would give this one a read as it makes you really think from new perspectives.

Romantic, Fake Love, Mysterious, Engaging, and Fast paced. If you resonate with any of those words for books, then read this book as I believe it will be highly worth your time. Im not going to spoil anything from this book as I really want to hear your thoughts about the ending of this book because I am curious to know!

To start I would like to say I had the lucky chance to meet the author the other day and quickly found out that he is THE person to talk about mindset, leadership, and redirecting your life to be awesome. I would highly suggest following him on LinkedIn and shooting him a message about any questions surrounding those topics and Im sure he will give you a great answer. As for this book I put it as a bonus because I’m not quite finished with it yet, but everything I have read from it so far has been nothing but valuable and insightful and I highly encourage you read it along with me and let me know what you think about it!
