Possible spoilers underneath, idk:This novel feels realistic. Often in "child raising novels" the kid attaches themselves to the adult right away but that is often not how a troubled child would behave. Here the daughter hates the FL at the start and tries to get rid of her any way possible. It is only after working for it that FL earns the child's affection. The daughter also responds, talks and acts how a child irl would act, unlike other novels where 7 years are still baby talking.The father, who I assume is the ML, also acts like a person would. He simultaneously loves and neglects his daughter, as is shown that instead of working on her problems he just showers her in gifts. It is quite obvious that his daughter needs someone to be there for her, but instead of living up to his mistakes he blames others and tries to defuse the situation by covering the problem with money. I hope he gets better in the future cause I'm not a fan of him right now.Our FL is a rational person, she doesn't want to get involved with this dysfunctional family, but she got attached to the daughter so she has no choice but to stay with her.
