Wow wow wow. I loved Being in Katrina Kim’s head. It is dissociation and chaos and irrational order and hilarious and at times gut-punchingly relatable. Perfection

The writing isn't bad, just not interested in the story like I thought I'd be

I ultimately ended up enjoying this one, but it's for sure not one I'd normally pick up. The start of it is very jarring and stressful, and I don't know that I would have continued on my own. I think this could be a good discussion, and I think Dong handled the mystery really well. I just get stressed out when people are making objectively terrible decisions that are going to bite them on the ass.
