If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha

3.25

This is entirely about a group of four Korean women living in New York and the intricacies of their culture and social lives. I love me a society gossip book. It holds a magnifying glass to a lot of beauty and success standards in Asian culture, but also somehow ended up being a touching story about women finding themselves and deciding their worth. I read so many books where the central characters are white, that it always hits me like a ton of bricks when I see experiences or traditions I can relate to reflected back to me in the pages. I’m glad I read this! However, it didn’t leave enough of an impression for me to read again.
