I adored this. The writing style is minimalist, but impactful. This novel focuses on the everyday sexism and rigid misogyny that women in South Korea face. Despite the minimalist style, I really felt as if I got to know Kim Jiyoung, and I felt for her and got angry with her throughout the novel. I highly recommend this one!
