alisarae 's review for:

The Vegetarian by Han Kang

Another book for #10DayTeamReadathon but it's also one I had been wanting to read for a while.

Reading this brought up a lot of strong emotions: I was repulsed, disgusted, intrigued, saddened, and curious. Yes, Yeong-hye is mentally ill. Very. But I resonated with her shirking of social constraints—the woman just wants to do what she wants to do. Let her be!
