Was a super quick read and really enjoyed the writing style. The way the author talks in the first 2 perspectives in the book about awful scenes were so unsettling.
Feel like English lit teachers would lap this up - found the commentary on women’s body and ownership so interesting. I wish I knew more from the Yeong-Hye’s perspective, but I also think this was on purpose as she is unknowable and everyone is putting their beliefs onto her.
Wish the ending was a bit more complete, but that isn’t a dealbreaker for me. Can imagine some people being frustrated at that.
