I really liked this icky little horror novel about a young Korean-American woman taking her gory revenge on white men who fetishise Asian women. I loved the way the author took the stereotype of Asian women being mild mannered and said absolutely fuck this - and the way Ji-won used this stereotype to her advantage throughout the book was brilliant. 

The male characters written to be hated are written almost too over the top - I cringed every time Geoffrey was in a scene, a man hiding behind a feminist facade who is just as intent on controlling the women in his life as a man found in the deepest corners of 4chan. But they were effective. 

There was a definite queer undertone to one of the storylines and I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t go anywhere. I was also almost disappointed by the ending but Kim turned it around.
