A really lovely written book about female friendships lived within and responding to the challenges of being a woman in society. The dystopian nature of our modern society is always more shocking written down and portrayed in these day to day lived moments - when you’re not surprised at the atrocities or inequalities you’re reading. Very important book, and from what I hear, a very (unfortunately) accurate portrayal of life as a woman in Korea (and most everywhere).
