3.5
It is a book that conveys a lot of feeling. The author has opened herself up and let her innermost thoughts and feelings come out. But there are parts of the story that for me are a bit chaotic and I can't empathise.
This book has made me think, both about my own behaviours and thoughts and those of the people around me and has allowed me to reflect on mental health, which I liked a lot, but I lacked the details to be able to put myself completely in her shoes, but it is true that being a real person and not a fictional one, giving so many details of your life can be very hard.
It is possible that I also lacked knowledge of Korean culture and what it is like to grow up in an environment like the one described by the author.
