i think this was a fascinating dive into misogyny in Korea and I was baffled every time a man in this book spoke and was inspired by how so many of the woman portrayed in here did not get violent at their mistreatment. this books ending was deeply unsatisfying - intentionally so, which makes it all the more painful. I was tossing up between a 3.5 and a 4, simply because the book was an important read but not an overly complicated and I would have loved for it to be longer so we could get more of the MCs inner dialogue and her journey with this psychosis she developed. I very much enjoyed it and will forever be shocked my men and their audacity.
