I really appreciated how the author chose both to include the main character's personal experiences and also to mention facts and statistical data about the general conditions of women in South Korea.Â
I also really liked the writing style, it was quite direct and matter-of-fact when it needed to be, but at the same time there were many beautiful passages with a more lyrical style that captured so well Jiyoung's feelings and that really moved me.Â
A wonderful and powerful read.

I had a mixed reaction to the book for about the first 3/4. I felt like the ideas were important, but that the book didn't tell me anything new as a woman. However, the last quarter of the book left more of an impression on me and I think I will find myself thinking about this book again in the future.
