I don’t like any of the four characters: a weak and spineless ex, a manipulative divorcée, a strange love interest, and a protagonist who doesn’t even know what she wants. But the one I dislike the most is the manipulative divorcée—I mean, this woman has been stirring up trouble since before she even got married. And the most exhausting part is that it’s always the same excuse: "I can’t go against my family; I have no money, no business, nothing to fall back on, so I’m 'forced' to get married." Then, just as the protagonist starts to make progress in her relationship, this woman shows up to ruin everything. It happened in "Summer Trend," it happens here, and it’s happened in several other stories I’ve read.
