This book is really heavy and has affected my mental state. I can't imagine staying strong if I were in the female protagonist's shoes. I feel deeply for her, but it also left me wondering how someone’s life could spiral into such misery. It’s a haunting thought that lingers even after putting the book down.
It might seem like a light novel as a mere 300-page book but it was in fact heavy on the heart. And then why else I could expect from Moe Moe (Inya)’s novels?
After her father abandoned the family for another woman, the protagonist became the responsibility to support her family-the mother and the three younger siblings. Her struggles with money and other needs, not for herself but for the family, were the beginning of her downfall. I found the storyline a bit predictable and it was somewhat conservative in some parts of the story. Apart from that, it was fine. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
