THE EYES ARE THE BEST PART: A Novel by Monika Kim
4.0
thank you netgalley for the opportunity to receive the advanced reader copy for this book.
i really enjoyed this book and how it explores sexism, colonialism and racism through the eyes of jiwon. jiwon's thought pattern and internal struggles reflect the problems of what it means to be a korean woman surrounded by white men mainly.
it was a bit of a slow start for me but once i got hooked, it went fast paced. seeing jiwon's breakdown and continued delusions was captivating. at the end i cheered jiwon on in her destruction of men who took control of her and her familys lives.
i can't wait to buy the physical copy when this comes out.
