So depressing.... so, so, so depressing. I made it half way through and had to put it down in order to continue on with my life and not commit suicide.

⭐️ for the mc
⭐️⭐️ for the plot
⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the beautiful writing/translation 
The emotion and feeling was not lost in the translation so I really appreciate that. But omg I couldn’t stand how MEAN the mc was to her own kids & dog… I also didn’t like how fast the mc turned around with her feelings like it was truly psychotic
