Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang

challenging dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

A lot of effort for little payoff.  Overall this book left me feeling unsatisfied and vaguely icky. The ending was really rushed and the disorienting, hazy vibes of the rest of the book were abandoned for a comparatively conventional (and rushed) ending. There were some interesting ideas and passages and it was entertaining enough to complete, but not a book I'd recommend.
