Add this to all your "weird-girl" and "I support women's wrongs" book stacks!
Ji-won is the eldest daughter and is full of repressed rage...until she isn't. She's sick and tired of the men in her, her mother's, and her sister's life being pieces of shit, and she's hungry for their eyeballs. This book had a semi-slow start, but the short chapters and building premise had me tearing through this in no time. Despite the prose being rather plain and certain plot points tying up a bit too conveniently, I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the horror/thriller world of angry women taking revenge.
Also, I cannot help imagining this as an A24 film - I think it'd be spectacular!
