Min Lee is a workaholic who can’t say no. She substitutes sleep with Red Bull and, through a combination of repression and bad habits, has managed to score herself a luxury apartment, a fabulous boyfriend and the approval of her billionaire CEO. Things are looking pretty awesome… well, apart from those body image issues that constantly plague her.
But Min thinks she's got everything worked out. She's arranged her comfort zone and has zero desire to look outside of it… or, so she tells herself.
It’s not until a troubled schoolgirl tracks her down from the Internet, stalks her to her home and noses her way into life that Min begins to admit that something is wrong in her perfect world. Something that she's never thought about before, and doesn’t even want to think about. Something that has the power to ruin all her relationships and dismantle everything in her life she’s worked so very hard for.
What if ‘she’ isn’t the right word for Min at all?

I'm not a morning person. But Dooland's casual prose was so wonderful, I kept on reading... eventually until dawn. I should post the photo of the dang dawn, dooming my day! I had to work on Red Bull + extra adrenalin from Wim Hof method. I was so exhausted, I slept all day Saturday and ended up starting all over again this week. Yet, I'm so glad there is volume 2. But there isn't anymore, because I started with "Solve for i."I'm a rather stranger to LGBTQ issues. I was reading a witch/warlock fantasy, and volume 2 suddenly turned into a lesbian novel. After that, I thought I would give "Solve for i" a try. That lead to this gem (hmm, should I have saved "gem" for "Solve for i" review?) As an expatriate, I could totally empathize with Min's identity issues. Boy, don't I know about Korean parents. There were some parts where I thought it could have been shorter. But within some pages, I forgot all about that. Perhaps just before things started to fall part (or come together) author wanted to stretch a bit? The prose, the internal monologue, and emotional nuances and little physical gestures were so well described, I can hardly fault some extra icing on the cake. Somewhat neurotic and introspective first-person narrative vaguely reminded me of Crime and Punishment. (only, far less gloomy and far more engaging for the 21st century readers)
I liked Bree just fine. Ages ago, my friend's brother rear-ended another car, in front of the whole school. And he chose to speed away. Of course, Police come knocking on his door. On his 18th birthday, he totally went overboard with hard liquors he never had before. At dawn, I woke up to gurgling sounds. It was him gurgling on his own vomit. If I didn't freak out and turned his head to the side, we could have found him dead. I was only a couple years older. But boy, was he totally clueless. He was more fictional in real life. Having seen people like that, yeah, Bree was far more believable and more importantly, lovable.
A repressed introvert whose life was controlled by expectations of people who supposedly love her + a rambunctious extrovert whose life was ruined by people who never quite loved her for her ditziness? Min would get a free spirit, Bree would get a real protector. I would say a clever match for a desperate attraction.
Very well done, Ms. Dooland. P.S. I haven't touched DA since our dog died 2 years ago because the last pic was of his silly face. But Min reminded me to get back to doodling. So, thank you.

Under My Skin edition by A E Dooland Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This book was awesome. It had the perfect balance between Min's transition and the more in-depth plot of the book, and the way they were tied together was flawless. It did start out a bit boring, but as the story progresses you get attached to the characters and you find yourself crying, laughing, and stressing all along with Min.
The mysteries about individual characters added to their personalities and the plot, and I loved how things kept progressing as more was uncovered.
At times the book seemed a bit melodramatic or unrealistic, but it definitely tied in with the characters well.
Min was a fantastic narrator, and while I don't much care for first person stories, I fell in love with Mom as they narrated the story.
I also loved Min's relatable-ness. Their insecurity and uncomfortable questioning of gender really gave the story a realistic feel and I could relate immensely.
All in all, this book was great and I'm glad I read -)
Fair warning This book disrupted my sleep cycle for several nights running. I simply could not stop reading.
Ming Lee is a Korean/Australian woman living in Sydney. She has a great job in the marketing department of an international mining corporation, a boyfriend who is almost too perfect, and a comfortable home that she loves.
But underneath the surface, she is restless and unsatisfied. She has extreme body issues, almost no social life, and has been drinking too much. When she paints a portrait of herself as a man, it sets off a series of events that will change everything in her life.
Part of the power of this novel is the main character. I was in love with Ming from the start — not just sympathetic or interested — head over heels in love. Then comes her best friend at work, Sarah, her incredibly perceptive (except where it really counts) boyfriend Henry, and Bree — a troubled schoolgirl force of nature who finds Ming’s paintings on Deviant Art and storms into her life like a hurricane. All these characters quickly became friends that I cared about and rooted for.
As Ming’s life spirals more and more out of control, there were parts of this novel so intense I had to put the book (ok, the e-reader) down — and then I just continued to worry about the characters and be anxious about what would happen to them until I went back. It’s kind of a cliché to say a story made you laugh and cry, but this one did — and hit just about every emotion in between.
So, even though this is a long book, I never once felt bored or thought that it went on too long. I didn’t want it to end.
