I relate to many of the problems Sehee faced, and I wish I were as brave as her. I find it hard to allow myself to be vulnerable, to let this ugly side of me be known, so reading this book feels comforting. The therapist’s words are enlightening too. However, I do wish the book was more in depth and delved deeper into some situations. It talks about one problem and moves on to another, it all feels surface level.

I’m not going to lie, I’m having a hard time reading this. The way it’s written is very ornate. If you aren’t a native English speaker, and/or have very limited vocabulary, you have to have a dictionary by your side. There’s a lot of references to culinary (obviously), but also too much of historic pop culture. I have to keep looking up to understand something. I do enjoy the challenge though!

I started reading this in 2023, but I never finished it. I decided to pick it up again after I found it in my Books app. :)

Cleaning my library in the Books app, and good Lord, I have so many unfinished books from ‘23. I think I would’ve finished these by now if I had physical copies… e-pubs are more accessible and it lets me save money, but I easily get distracted with my phone, it’s hard to focus and read sometimes. 🥹
