Enjoyed the book, but felt cheated because the start of the book does not match the main theme. Start of the book makes it seem like it will be about mental health. The main theme of the book is a reflection on me too in Asian communities.

Incredible story about women and their treatments in Korean culture. One of my favorite books to read.
