Have you ever read a book that you dislike all of its characters?
"When I was ready to help you, why did you set out to snatch everything that was mine?" -- Katherine
"They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but it also tastes the sweetest when it’s cooked slow." -- Lily
A note to self everytime I am reading a psychological thriller to not trust any of its characters, think I did well with this one-- to not trust them, at all. Precious You is a story of two women-- Katherine, an editor of a magazine, the Gen X that thought the new intern, Lily-- a snowflake that came to threaten the very foundation of her self-serving little world, to sabotage and ruin her work and life. It was a story of provocation, a question of paranoia, anxiety and revenge.
It was fairly thrilling and disturbing with manipulative and unreliable characters. I love the twisting ending but the real motive on revenge was a bit off to me, think it could be much more worthy considering how it ended in 'ruining' the whole characters (even the extras). Nevertheless, I enjoyed the crazy stirring ride in between narration of both Katherine and Lily, it was hauntingly gripping and quite hypnotizing.
"Secrets always ooze out eventually, no matter what people wrap around the truth."
A part of me love the audacious snowflake and another part of me could understand the struggle and unfairness for Katherine. Generation gap can somehow be terrifying.
