If I Had Your Face is a book in the likes of Sally Rooney, it's a book about twentys-something's just living their lives. So if you, like me, love stories that are character based/driven rather than full of plot (because this truly is no plot just vibes) this is the book for you. I truly enjoyed this and can't wait to read more from Frances Cha.

Interesting, fascinating even (from a sociological aspect?) but not super emotionally gripping, for me anyway. I think the some of the economy- induced numbness of the characters felt too real or something.
