Written by a 20 something Korean woman about her struggles with depression & self-judgment. A helpful read for cross cultural mental health issues.

I adored this book. It's bite-sized and easy to follow, so I read it in one day. There is nothing profound about the author's experience or about the therapist. In fact, I was not particularly fond of the psychiatrist at all. But the normalcy of it all was exactly what made it work. This is not a story of somebody overcoming depression; it's simply a snapshot of a person living with depression. There's a simplicity and matter-of-fact attitude that resonated with me, and I liked that we got an inside view of the narrator's difficulty with beauty standards, fatphobia, etc. The ending section after the transcriptions felt a bit disjointed from the therapy transcriptions and I wasn't sure what to make of that, but I still enjoyed the writing.
