1. A beautiful mix of fictional narration and factual information 
2. Beautiful pace and the reveal of the pov is the cherry on top 
3. Omg the fucking ending!!!! Not only did the male doctor relate his own wife to her psychotic patient, but he did not learn form it!!!!! WTFFFFFF IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL 
4. A recommend to anyone i know 
5. Understood why it was controversial, the hierarchy of gender in workplace, very sensitive topics for the very men-centered society: politics and capitalism 
6. Really appreciate the footnotes

She's Kim Jiyoung, she's me, she's you. While a fictional story, the experience of Jiyoung is very real. This book left me angry, shaking my head, defeated and sad. The ending was just the icing on the cake.

The writing and the story itself might not be captivating, but it's the way that any woman relates to Jiyoung's and her female peers' experiences that makes this a very moving story.

الرواية حلوة وتقهر

مواقف وأحداث مريرة نعيشها كل يوم فقط لمجرد أننا ولدنا نساء  
‏توصف حالنا وحال كل سيدة في الكل بقعة في العالم

سيدات يتخلين عن أحلامهن حتى يحققن احلام اشخاص غيرهن وغالبًا ما يكونوا ذكور
سواء التخلي عن وظيفة، راتب، حياة اجتماعية، وحتى ابسط شي ممكن مثل مظلة فقط لمجرد أنه هو ذكر وهي انثى

‏٩.٥ من ١٠ لأن النهاية تقهر وإن كانت واقعية
