The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim

3.0

This was truly all kinds of insanity. I really enjoyed the psychological aspect of a Korean American woman becoming a cannibalistic serial killer (what a sentence to type out). We see the impact sexism, micro aggressions and racism has on one's psyche. While I wasn't super invested in any of the characters besides Ji-won, and the pacing was pretty slow for the first half, Monika Kim's writing is *chef's kiss* and there were a couple of chapters (chapter 32 in particular!!) that the monologue really stood out. My only advice: don't read this while eating.
