The Eyes are the Best Part' by Monika Kim is fantastic!
A dark, uncomfortable and addictive read about obsession, fetishism & revenge. A claustrophobic tale as Ji-Won becomes obsessed with her mother's new boyfriend's eyes and she knows there's only one way to satisfy her cravings. I was hooked from page one. What an exciting debut, intrigued to see what Monika does next. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed 'Boy Parts' by Eliza Clark.
