Thanks to Dutton Books for the free advance copy of this book.

 - FLAWLESS is an exploration and investigation of the Korean beauty industry. Hu looks at
how the country's particular history and culture led to the norms and dominance we see today, as well as interviews with Korean women about how it has affected their lives.
- I knew that standards of beauty were high in South Korea before I read this book, but I had no idea how mandatory it is to look put together at all times. Hu really digs into how lookism permeates so many parts of life for Korean women (and men, to a lesser extent).
- There are lot of facts and figures in this book, but it isn't simply dry reporting. Hu offers her own insights and feelings throughout the book, making it a fairly easy read despite the heavy subject.
