Ji-won's life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa's extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying - yet enticing. In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of blue eyes. Salivatingly perfect male eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George's, who is Umma's obnoxious new boyfriend. George has already overstayed his welcome in her family's claustrophobic apartment. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescending toward Ji-won and her sister as if he deserves all of Umma's fawning adoration. No, George doesn't deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that. Ji-won's hunger and rage need to be sated.

"I didn't get what everyone was raving about. I was bored. I finished it expecting something great but no that either. "

"This book was nuts! I literally couldn't put it down. So surreal, so horrific, so good! "

"Not bad. I do think the ending was a bit unrealistic and kind of unsatisfying for some reason. I would give it 3.5 or 4 out of 5. "

"I loved learning about Korean culture, and I love an unhinged mc, but this book just wasn't for me. I must have put it down 4-5 times and completely forgot I was even reading it (for weeks at a time!). It's not the gore that bothers me, I'm just not a lit-fic girlie no matter how hard I try, and I'll keep trying different sub-genres including more lit-horror, but so far I just find myself bored. And it's saying something when a character is eating eyeballs and I'm bored."

"I thought it was interesting to follow this character through her insanity and trying to defend her family and her "feminist" like views. But it doesn't go very deep and can be hard to follow. "
