Natural Beauty was an interesting read, there was so much creativity in the writing. I enjoyed how we learned the narrator's full story..who she was and what informed her decisions. Of note is her grappling with her cultural identity throughout her life, as this is something I could relate to  I also appreciated all the themes the book explored, especially around belonging and most evidently beauty and health culture. While there are some predictable factors, overall the story writing is unique, especially all the strange and somewhat sickening procedures and products at Holistick. 

My biggest issue is the themes towards the end such as that of eugenics were a bit haphazardly discussed, I think the book could have changed its pace a bit. There were a few elements of the story that felt a bit underdeveloped. I think the book could benefit from these heavier themes being discussed a bit earlier or if the book perhaps 100 pages longer so they could be better developed. It felt towards the end that things happened too fast, when the pace at the beginning was slower like a pot simmering threatening to boil over. This took away from my enjoyment of the book a bit, as I feel the author was definitely capable of giving more. 

Overall, though definitely worth the read but its just annoying as this could potentially be a five-star read if the heavier themes were developed more.
