The eyes are the best part

Book Details

Synopsis

Ji-won is a young Korean-American woman living in the shadow of her mother, a woman who constantly criticizes her features, especially her eyes. One day, her mother tells her that "the eyes are the best part," a phrase that sticks in Ji-won's mind and unleashes something dark.

What begins as criticism transforms into a macabre obsession: an uncontrollable desire to gouge out and eat her own eyes. As she struggles to fit into a world that doesn't accept her and deals with family trauma she doesn't understand, Ji-won plunges into a spiral of self-mutilation and psychological terror, convinced that this act is the only way to purify herself and achieve perfection.
