I honestly don't have much of an opinion about this story. I think if I had read it physically, it would've frustrated me. Instead, I got to zone out to the truly fantastic narration, and skipped the irritation these characters no doubt would have inspired in me. This isn't my type of book, and I didn't enjoy it enough to read more by the author.
There really is no plot here, and if there's anything deeper to this story than following a main character and her indecisiveness about the relationships in her life, I definitely missed it. I do recommend looking up reviews from Hongkongers for discussions about the representation.
