3.75

3.8 ⭐️ - the only reason I’m not giving it a 4 is because I have 4⭐️ books i’ve liked more than this
Weirdly enough some of the experiences she had are very relatable, I really do wonder if it’s an ace spectrum thing or just has to do with something else.
Very informative, I’d recommend to anyone who wants to know just a little more about the ace experience. 
Comforting too, I liked bookmarking the pages i related to !

God man this book is great and what’s better is that it suprised me a lot once i started it
I thought it was gonna be a normal ficiton book but what this book is is nonfiction disguised as fiction. It follows the story of the typical, avrage  Korean woman but soon while reading you realize youre not there for the character but for what she represents. She’s only there in a way to show to us what the average woman in Korea endures during her life.                          This book is just a very creative way of displaying statistics and I absolutely love that. I love how I thought I’d just be reading about a fictional story but got rewarded with much more. I loved how much I got to learn about misogyny and sexism in this part of the world (which quite frankly isn’t much different from where I live either).


God, in conclusion, I absolutely loved this book. The writing was so nice and easy to get by too, getting me to continue it even more. 
10/10 would recommend to anyone. I will pass this book down my family tree this is just wow 
Fuck this shit man this book had great quotes too i’m gonna lose it 
It’s too good
