The Eyes Are the Best Part
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING 'GOOD FOR HER' K-THRILLER
By Monika Kim
Harry Hartog's review
This book was all kinds of whack… and I loved it! I gaged, cringed, raged, threw it down and paced my living room, and my god I could not get enough. Raging feminist horror but in a subtle something-is-wrong-but-what? kinda way? Count me in! This book with make you seethe with rage, and by the end of it I was ready to take on the world with Ji-won. Recommend to anyone who likes Yōko Ogowa, Ottessa Moshfegh etc. - Lauren, Subscriptions

Ji-won's life is in disarray. Her father's affair has ripped the family to shreds, leaving her to piece their crappy lives back together.
Then her mother's new and obnoxious white boyfriend enters the scene, bragging about his knowledge of Korean culture and ogling Asian waitresses. As he gawks at her teenage sister around their claustrophobic apartment, Ji won's grip on reality begins to slip.
