Crystal toils day and night to earn top grades at her cram school. She's also endlessly texting, shopping, drinking, vexing her boyfriends, cranking up her MP3s, and fantasizing about her next slice of cheesecake. But her nonstop frenzy never lets her do the one thing that might change her tragic fate: open up about the pressures that are driving her to the edge. She certainly hasn't talked with her best friend, Mina, nor Mina's brother, whom she's developing a serious crush on. And Crystal's starting to lose her grip.… (mais)

Quite the Donnie Darko twist with this one. You think you're reading a novel about angsty teens enduring Korea's brutal education system but it is something quite different to that. Most Korean novels I've read have been about poorer people, this setting of well off kids with their own credit cards gallivanting about their city was refreshingly different. Very wordy at times, which if you've read a lot of Korean lit in translation you'll be used tol but if you're just jumping in with this book may be confusing. However the internal monologues of Crystal serve a purpose as you experience her labyrinthian descent into mental illness.

I had one big problem with the ending. I don't feel there was an adequate reason behind Minho's seeming uncaring as to his sister's fate and it took away from Crystal's own sociopathy. I assumed Minho was just going along with Crystal in that bored teenage way, not really believing anything she said and not having sufficient empathy to be horrified by it. His acceptance of the final scene he was met with made me wonder if this book was more about Hell Joseon than it appeared to be which was a disappointment.

I'm also curious at the translation choice to give Crystal a western name. Does her original Korean name have connotations that would be lost without choosing a western one? ( )
