'A confronting and timely book about consent, toxic masculinity, sexual assault and how women are treated in South Korea by one of the country's most prominent feminist writers... a powerful look at sexism and assault in university campuses and beyond' - Independent 'A mesmerising debut. Dark, twisted and bracingly empathetic about the gap between who we are and how we appear to others' - Diana Reid, author of Love and Virtue 'A novel so immaculately-crafted, shocking, and moving, it's hard to believe it's the author's first' - Sang Young Park, author of the International Booker-longlisted Love in the Big City 'Dark Academia the way I like it: one of those novels where you're never sure who you should be rooting for, or if you should be rooting for anyone at all. Smart, and full of suspense, it will keep you guessing until the end.' - Hanna Bervoets, author of We Had to Remove This Post 'Sharp societal commentary and amazing, complex female characters. An unusual, unpredictable thriller' - Simone Campos, author of Nothing Can Hurt You Now
