sharlenegerena's review against another edition
Overall, I didn’t really enjoy this. I think that it was really brave of the author to have published these conversations/ sessions with her psychiatrist. However, I felt like it dragged and it was a little obvious that these conversations were recorded in a way where it felt less honest (if that makes sense). I feel like some things weren’t explored very much so it lacked depth and felt almost a little shallow. It felt like some of the conversations were never really resolved and it felt as if they were cut or edited.

My mom read the original Korean text and I read a translated version. The book allowed us to have some really great conversations about mental health and provided a great bonding experience for us. It is mostly transcripts from Baek Sehee's therapy sessions but there were reflections after each chapter talking about what she had learned from her experiences. This made it easier to digest and apply to aspects of my own life. I think it's a good book to get yourself thinking about managing anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and self-love.

I bought this book after the reading the little text on the back, since I myself I’m in a weird case of my life where I’m not doing well but I wouldn’t call it depression. Anyway I expected more?from this book. I just really couldn’t connect with the main character. I did every now and then realise that I myself I’m sometimes making situations worse in my head but I just didn’t enjoy it. I feel like I was expecting to finish the book and be like : wow , this will change my life and help me get better but I didn’t. I also didn’t finish it , I pretty much stopped reading after the page of the therapist. I just didn’t see the point of adding the page about the grandmother, aunt, dogs,…
I think I even regret taking this book and not the other one in the bookstore
