I am still thinking about the things I learned in this book one month later. I found it fascinating and a the obsession with looks a little horrifying. It is a character driven snippet of the lives of 4 women, though if someone had described it that way to me I'd never have picked it up.

It was a nice read although it was hard to relate to the characters, their choices and views on life not matching mine at all. But that's sometimes what reading is about. It definitely made me travel a bit and gave me a different perspective on the Korean beauty industry
