I felt just fine about this book up until the ending. Really interesting premise! Thought I’d love this but alas…
magical realism in Korea but then it became a  thriller?!?! where the narrator is tortured for info and has his fingers and toes cut off!!
This book was let down by the narrator (unlikeable and a man), the writing style and ultimately the ending which left so much feeling incomplete (I assume on purpose)!!

some interesting themes but there was a lot of fatphobia, and with the plot completely shifting in part 3, there really just didn’t seem to be a point by the end

Maybe I’m being too generous with a 5/5, but even with the ending I’m just a sucker for a strange book, and this book was strange. Villa incognito vibes
