About the book
In an unassuming Seoul workplace, IT technician Junyoung’s network reaches throughout the entire building. He sees every entrance. Every lobby. Every bathroom. The women in this building may be cold and dismissive, but he can always pull up his favorite images of them and remember who holds the real power. Until one, Dahye, sets herself apart from the rest. Dahye, ever the romantic, yearns to be cherished after years of living in the shadow of her perfect older sister, who tragically drowned years ago. Only her boyfriend seems to appreciate Dahye. He’s rich, handsome, and generous—and she’d do anything to hold on to the happiness he brings her. But when a hidden camera scandal rocks the city’s elites, Dahye’s dreams of a fairy-tale romance twist into a grotesque nightmare. Her boyfriend abandons her. Her parents reject her. Her grip on reality begins to shatter as visions of her dead sister suddenly appear. And as Junyoung’s interest in Dahye turns to obsession, and the truths of their troubled lives are revealed, Dahye must go to extreme lengths to bring the truth to light . . .

The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“If you like horror that is more a bout the depravity of humanity than the actual monsters, this is a good one. A non-spoiler heads up that I didn't anticipate from the blub/other reviews: half the book is in the POV of the sex offender. It's very well done, but still deeply disturbing and not something I particularly appreciated being surprised by.”
“If I had a nickel for every time I picked a bad book for book club, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. But oh dear... I got the ick, and I'm pretty sure I gave everyone in book club the ick too. Chat, I'm so sorry. I was genuinely excited for this book, especially because I picked a new release so we could all go in blind together. Mistake. The book starts off rough, following this stalker guy who spies on the women's bathroom at his job. And unfortunately, you get full access to his depraved inner monologue because he says some truly vile things…”
