Yellowface

By R.F. Kuang

When Athena dies in a freak accident June steals her manuscript and publishes it as her own. It is a huge success and catapults June to fame. Of course things begin to unravel for June as she spins more and more faslehoods while convincing herself that she is deserving of these accolades and everyone else is at fault. This book brilliantly explores racism, cultural appropriation and social media. It will make you laugh while it horrifies you. I loved it.
