Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang
2.0
I DNF’d this book not because of the plot or writing but because I found myself becoming increasingly disturbed and horrified.
I think the author does an excellent job of getting the message across but I just didn’t feel like the target audience. This felt like more of a surface level introduction into the horrors that lie beneath the world of beauty and cosmetics. I stopped reading bc it did it feel worth costing my mental health to read about something I already know about. Like it didn’t feel like this book was going to dive further into the important discourse surrounding aesthetics and beauty standards.
The plot is beautiful and the writing was good but it was just too disturbing for my liking.
