I really enjoyed this book, only because I listened to the audiobook. It was so much easier to understand. It was super interesting to see the same events repeat throughout each generation. I did find the portrayal of women pretty problematic. They were always quiet, submissive, way too young for their husbands and sometimes related to them.

Honestly, I loved this book so much. The friendships felt so genuine and realistic. It really explores misogyny, Korean beauty standards, sex work, and female relationships so well.

Truly amazing! I honestly loved it. The book perfectly combined historical elements and sci-fi. Many of the friendships felt really shallow, but that may just be because of how short the book was.

This shit is so fucked up and it’s just not really for me. Any and all trigger warnings can probably be applied to this book. I still think is was really good, I just personally didn’t enjoy it all that much.

The world-building was super messy and the “poetic” lines just came off as weird. I am still interested in the characters.

It’s a little scary reading this after the COVID pandemic, but it makes me so grateful for the world I live in now.
