If I Had Your Face
by Frances Cha
ARC courtesy of NetGalley and Random House Ballantine
If I Had Your Face follows five modern Korean women as they transverse their 20s covering issues like disability, wealth and education inequity and beauty standards. Similar to sisterhood narratives, each girl has her own voice and characters alternate chapters. Unfortunately, something about the writing did not stick with me. The topics either felt very rushed or very superficial with one dimensional characters. There's no growth or change or even interaction really. It's like a vacuous bubble where characters prod around each other but not with each other.
