The beginning had a slow start but it picked up in the second half. Unhinged characters are my favourite thing. I loved seeing Ji-won unravel and become more unhinged. The men in this were so disgusting that you can’t help but to root for her. The descriptions as well were so good. This was an amazing debut. 

Sadly, the beginning is what’s keeping this from being a favourite for me. But, I’m looking forward to picking up more books by Monika Kim in the future.

I did also find out that if food is described well enough no matter what is also in the food I will still get hungry… which I definitely could write an essay about that statement.

P.s. if you liked this you’ll probably like Chlorine by Jade Song.
