I loved the concept and the idea and the cover and everything else.
I didn't like any of the characters. Maybe none of them were supposed to be likable. I don't know. I wanted something more from a "horror" book. While aspects about this book were horrifying it was not what I expect from horror.
Also how did she get away with all of this? How did nobody know or see? That doesn't make sense to me.

Is it bad after reading I want to say “good for her” 👁️
The Eyes Are The Best Part is a dark, unsettling horror that follows Ji-won as she descends down a dark path after her father’s affair and her mother’s new white boyfriend moves in.
I’m glad I went in blind to the book as I didn’t expect it to be so dark and unhinged as it was. The book is a mixture of family drama and horror and I think Monika balanced them well. She invested me with this family so when someone new tries to come in I felt Ji-Won’s anger.
The book kept me on edge all the way through, I didn’t know if part of it was real or not. What the hell was actually happening to Ji-Won and was someone actually following her. All this leads to a bloody conclusion that had me shocked. She really pulled an Amy Dunne at the end 😌
