The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim
4.0
A twisting story of desire, obsession, and a woman slowly losing her sanity. The Eyes Are the Best Part keeps you on your toes as we follow a daughter trying to make sense of her mother's collapse after the end of a marriage and the beginning of a new relationship. It covers everything from the fetishism of Asian women to predators pretending to be allies. The descent into madness is brilliantly portrayed.
I feel like if you enjoyed The Vegetarian you will enjoy this. I did think it was a tad slow at times, given the overall mood of the novel, but I think it pulled itself together in a great way at the end. I give it 4 stars! It is supposed to be published on June 25, 2024 in the US.
Thank you Netgalley for providing a review copy!
