The Eyes Are the Best Part

thanks to the publisher for providing an ARC!

In this book, we meet Ji-won, who's still reeling from her father leaving her home. The book is a slow-burn as it takes a look at Ji-won's dynamics with her family (her mother and her sister) and the pressure she faces. Things begin to unravel when her mother begins dating a man named George.

While this book delivers in its very gnarly premise and has some nausea inducing moments, I unfortunately couldn't connect with the writing as much as I wanted to, as I often found every character aside from the protagonist was one dimensional and just doing things for the plot's sake and some events were just too convenient. Wanted to love it, but it left me feeling lukewarm.
