I believe any woman who reads this book will feel horrifyingly seen and undeniably uncomfortable.
It is a work of subliminal desire.

There were hints of an intresting premise made in the first chapter, without any pay-off. And the last chapter did pack a punch. But middle section was too mild and borderline boring.
If this book was any longer I would have probably not make it through.

As a queer man who doesn't want children, it was humbling to read about the toll just living and existing in 'regular' society can take, even in a different geographical context.
So much about South Korea is romanticised through a Western lens, so it was interesting to read this perspective, even if it doesn't necessarily speak for everyone (obviously).

مواقف وأحداث مريرة نعيشها كل يوم فقط لمجرد أننا ولدنا نساء
توصف حالنا وحال كل سيدة في الكل بقعة في العالم
سيدات يتخلين عن أحلامهن حتى يحققن احلام اشخاص غيرهن وغالبًا ما يكونوا ذكور
سواء التخلي عن وظيفة، راتب، حياة اجتماعية، وحتى ابسط شي ممكن مثل مظلة فقط لمجرد أنه هو ذكر وهي انثى
٩.٥ من ١٠ لأن النهاية تقهر وإن كانت واقعية
