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.
