Hated everyone in this story except Yuria (and the various children), who is more long-suffering than me. I've seen this theme of "secret male/female lover comes out when there is a medical crisis or death and family reels" done much better and frankly, in a way that was less painful to the reader.
The young lover was annoying as hell, but even then I got what the author was doing. Yuria, however, is ALWAYS delightful and perhaps this series is resilience porn than anything else. Some people get dealt awful hands (although it really just kept coming at her in this one, lol). Her attitude was so upbeat, with a desire to move forward rather than wallow, and the author did a good job of fleshing out her thought process and the opening with her family laid a solid groundwork for her mentality. I was furious a lot of the time, but happy I read it.
However, I won't be re-reading it and ultimately...I don't know if I liked it at all. I am writing this review years after reading it and I remember it, but nothing in me wants to open it again and relive it. I did think everyone grew in this, but Yuria shouldered SO much. I don't like it when it feels like one person gets picked on, lied to, cheated, and degraded...no matter how strong they are and no matter how much the story shows it's the dramatic "kick in the pants" they ultimately needed. It makes it even harder to bear. Maybe it's better beyond where I dropped it, but I feel like no amount of grovel from the husband or apology from the affair partner can uptick it for me, if that's where it's going. I want her to just leave and be happy, not clean up the mess of an ungrateful person who wouldn't do the same for her.
