I wanted to like this book but I found it, and the author, frustrating. I think if I was someone who was unused to thinking deeply about life and myself, it's possible that the talks with her therapist - that the author shares presumably verbatim - would be revelatory. However, I couldn't get past how childlike/childish the author's questions and revelations felt to me.

I know that mental health still isn't something that's talked about a lot in South Korea, though that seems to be slowly changing. I did try to keep that in mind as I read, but for me it was just too frustrating of an experience and I did not finish this. Perhaps it's the right book for someone else.
