A review by honnari_hannya
The Only Child by Mi-Ae Seo

3.0

A fairly standard thriller, though I appreciated the attempts at giving us a complex villain in both Yi Byeongdo and Hayeong by exploring the ways in which trauma affects the psyche—and where, exactly, the line is drawn before someone can no longer be "saved." Nothing was really surprising, and I think Seonkyeong made quite a few stupid choices to end up where she did at the end of the novel, but it was still an enjoyable read.

If you like books like Baby Teeth or creepy children in general, or if you liked the Hannibal franchise (which is referenced a few times here), then this book is probably right up your alley.
