I wasn’t sure about the first section of this, but the second section was beautiful and painful. Then the final act of this book was truly brutal. The writing was  haunting in a way that’s left me feeling devastated.

Yeonghye la mujer que eres!
Tuve que tomarme un momento para asimilar lo que acababa de leer pero me gusto mucho la forma en que te presenta la historia desde 3 puntos de vista y que todos fallan en entender que yeonghye puede hacerlo que quiera con su cuerpo y rechazar la violencia de la sociedad

This book is really really dark and I think not everyone will like it because it contains a lot of disturbing scenes which makes it physically hard to read. But for me as a reader who likes weird types of shit like mental illness and other dark topics, it was an interesting experience. Moreover, this book shows the struggles that women face in society.
