This book mentions a lot about what women go through: mental heath, judgement from family members, and being sexually objectified. It was a very interesting read to see how these issues are somewhat deal with/talk about in South Korea . This book is about one woman but the pov is from the husband, brother in law and sister. I find this writing style so interesting because I was so engrossed by what each character was thinking. Each character was able to convince me of their actions and I actually was on their side throughout their chapters. Once I moved to the next chapter, I saw how disturbing the previous character was.
