I really enjoyed this book as it was one of my most anticipated reads of 2024.
I loved the slow build of Ji-won’s obsession as well as the imagery it provoked.
This book definitely made me squirm as eyeballs are a thing for me, but nonetheless I really enjoyed it and was rooting for her to succeed when maybe I shouldn’t have been. In a funny turn of events this book left me feeling like it was a “good for her” story which wasn’t something I expected going into it.
