very moving and thoughtful. I'm always interested in books that take me through experiences and get me close to minds that I'd never have known otherwise, and this did a wonderful job of it. really made me feel so much empathy for the mother even though I was so far removed from the way she thought, Kim Hye-Jin really knows how to bring you to look her in the eye. an ambiguous ending, but well-done. doesn't leave you yearning for more, just hoping that they'll be alright.

This book became increasingly intolerable for me. I am generally squeamish about medical issues and excrement, which became an increasingly large part. It also seemed rather pathetic to hear a mother complaining all the time that he daughter had an extremely kind girlfriend who was treating her well. I hope that the book shows growth after this point, but I reached a point I couldn’t take it anymore.

It was very sad to listen (I read in audiobook) about such mother who doesn’t accept her daughter at all. The most unique thing to me was
she could sympathize with her patient and her real physical wounds but she couldn’t see the mental wounds she puts on her daughter
Very good book and very well written, will stick to me for some time

As someone who relates much more to Green, a lesbian with a mother who is like the narrator, this book gives me a lot of feelings and questions.  Even now after I have finished it my heart feels so so heavy.
