Get ready for a wild ride through the twisted world of "Natural Beauty" by Ling Ling Huang! In this episode, we dive deep into a story that's heavy on body horror and light on consent. With pacing issues that had us checking our watches and science that made us scratch our heads, this book was a time. But don’t fret!
