I have mixed feelings about this book while it was extremely deep and personal part of the author, but I still felt it lacked more depth, I understand this is just part of her transcripts of her sesions with her phsychiatric but somehow I find the whole thing extremely boring, while they were snips of moments were I could relate to her, there were other where I was just staring into nothing and thinking huh this is not contributing anything meaningful into my life. but I think this was only a me problem because of the format of the book.
However, I have to give her credit for not shying away from tackling difficult subjects, such as mental health and societal expectations from South Koreans, with honesty and vulnerability. Yet, even in the darkest moments, there is a thread of hope and resilience that runs through her writing.
