3.0

The themes and issues discussed in this book are extremely important. The misoginy that Kim Jiyoung faces is something that every woman can painfully relate to. In terms of execution, I found this novel lacking something. Perhaps something lost in translation. While I understand the purpose of the style, I wasn't a big fan of it.
