I love this book oh my godddd its so horrible and twisted and miserable and beautiful and so unreal! I feel like Chung reached into my dreams and pulled something out and slapped it on the pages with a full backstory. This ones truly for the girls, the brutal girls.

I liked some stories more than others.. some were really slow and tough to get through, which could be due to the translation. Most, if not all, had a message behind the story and were very thought provoking. Some of the stories definitely felt like there were some loose ends that could've been tied up better, but I guess that adds to the mystery of it. Overall, a pretty decent book and I can see myself reading it again, maybe just skipping over my least favorite stories.

The final story, titled "Reunion," was the crown jewel of this collection. The rest are also pretty good! I would recommend this set of stories to those who like offbeat contemporary short fiction.
