If I Had Your Face

I truly enjoyed this novel. The narrative takes us on an intimate journey into the lives of four women in contemporary Seoul. Set against the backdrop of the city's high-pressure beauty industry, Cha delves deep into the complex beauty standards and societal expectations that shape their lives. What makes this book truly special is the author's choice for highlighting the darker sides of Seoul's beauty-obsessed culture, all while showcasing the resilience and inner strength of her characters.
