The imagery of literally eating the white male gaze. I love weird books. This was an interesting perspective on the serial killer genre. This one is very focused on the Korean American experience, heavy character focus. Ji-won is unapologetically crazy and prone to hallucinations, adding an unpredictable and thrilling element to the story. But it is really her or the tumor? I could see Ji-won losing herself to her desires and  getting caught. Some men are trash and being a woman is hard and even harder if you are a woman of color.
