I really liked this book. I learned a lot about what life has been like for women in Korea the past 40 years. The final chapter was really unexpected for me and absolutely bleak. I really felt for Jiyoung throught the whole book and was so sad I couldn't cry at all. Highly recommend

This hit harder than I expected it to. It’s told so matter of factly and shows misogyny exactly how it is which is why it’s so impactful.
