Love. Love. Love. Love. LOVE. this book. Oh my god.

Yeah there's stuff with eyeballs, but at its' core this book is about Korean lady revenge against white men and really all men, and probably all whiteness. I love lady revenge in every form.

I'm not a big body horror person, so I just skimmed over the descriptions of eyeballs being consumed, and it was still easy to follow along.

I love that there's just an understanding that

Ji-won is going to murder these men with no repercussions. The point isn't whodunnit or how she got away with it, but that she's moving in the world having done these violent, but maybe necessary, acts in the first place.

I love the end. I have father issues too.

This book had murder and stealing and framing-- yet the only true crime committed is that the main girl and her "friend" never KISSED.

I feel frustrated by this one, ngl! Odd character choices, the tumor reveal made no sense to me and the gay yearning went nowhere… and yet there was such potential!!

Honestly, I liked the story and the writing but I just could not handle the body gore of this one. But for those who don’t mind it, this could be a great read!
