Starting out, I thought to myself This isn't horror! but just be patient, it gets there. Just like Ji-won, you gotta work up the courage to face eating the fish eyes, and then after that you too will not get enough of this book. Especially if you're in your angry feminist phase (is it perimenopause or feminism LOL), like me! TW: Disgusting, sexist, misogynistic, abusive, cheating men are in this book.
But the ending? Chef's kiss.
