Men will always like women's breasts.
Young women will regard their breasts as precious as their own lives! But if a woman is over the age of fifty or sixty, the meaning of "breasts" is not much different from her arms and thighs. They are just one of her organs. Therefore, all feelings and perceptions are related to age! Different age groups! The feelings and feelings will be drastically different.
This book is well written, the characters are clearly explained, and the text is written fluently.
The plot of this book is real and touching, and it made me deeply feel the complexity of love.

This is a book worth reading that will make you think about love, age, and the meaning of life.
