The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim

dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I love a weird book as much as the next person and there are aspects of this book that I enjoyed. However there are also a lot that just didn't hit. I enjoy a short dissent into madness and I can get behind a woman's wrongs. I also enjoyed the dissent into potential serial killer vibes. 

I loved the concept and the idea and the cover and everything else.

I didn't like any of the characters. Maybe none of them were supposed to be likable. I don't know. I wanted something more from a "horror" book. While aspects about this book were horrifying it was not what I expect from horror. 

Also how did she get away with all of this? How did nobody know or see? That doesn't make sense to me.
