childish
I think any book review I write can be summed up as childish, Henriette, My Mother, My Love

As long as people don't have love, they can have everything. Belike The first one was mainly based on reading "The Narrow Gate" where the female protagonist was both cool and established with a similar theme. But the clever thing is that the third sister rejected the male protagonist even though she was heartbroken and Dior was still alive, and suddenly she broke through the era of feminism lol
