My thoughts
when every sentence of the book makes your blood boil you know it's a damn well book. Kim Jiyoung is me. She is you. She is every other girl in the asian subcontinent. Because we might have come a long way when it comes to science and technology but the unsaid rules and expectations for women still remain the same. i wanted to scream at every man (even women sometimes) in this book and just tell me how full of shit they are. this is gonna be my new Know My Name and i will not shut up about it until and unless i make every man i know read it.
