From what I understand there is still quite a lot of stigma around mental health in S Korea, so it must have taken a lot of courage for the author to publish such a frank and comprehensive 'write-up' of her counselling sessions. This was a book group read and it has led to some thoughtful and interesting discussions, but I felt that I would have enjoyed it more had it been better structured.

A nice lightweight read

This was an intriguing little story, but I felt it lacked the warmth and intensity of her other books.
