If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha

Genre: Literary fiction | Led by: Rosemarie | Drop-in event

In Seoul, South Korea, four young women make their way in a world defined by impossibly high standards of beauty, secret salons catering to wealthy men, strict social hierarchies and K-pop fan mania. Together, their stories tell a gripping tale at once unfamiliar and unmistakably universal--their tentative friendships perhaps these women's only saving grace.

The Too Good to Be Missed Book Group meets the second Wednesday of the month at 1:30 pm. Participants can grab a copy of the book being discussed one month before the discussion date at the Adult Reference Desk, or check out a copy through Libby/Overdrive.
