Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang receives praise for its lyrical prose and exploration of identity and cultural heritage. The novel's vivid descriptions and emotional depth resonate with readers. However, some critiques mention a slow-paced narrative and underdeveloped characters. Overall, it is appreciated for its thought-provoking themes and beautiful writing style.
A reader who enjoyed the unique blend of speculative fiction and satire in Ottessa Moshfegh's My Year of Rest and Relaxation or the introspective look at beauty standards in Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman would likely be captivated by the societal critiques in Ling Ling Huang's Natural Beauty.
