Yellowface by Rebecca F Kuang

 Athena Liu is a literary darling and June Hayward is literally nobody.

White lies...

When Athena dies in a freak accident, June steals her unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own under the ambiguous name Juniper Song.

Dark humour...

But as evidence threatens June’s stolen success, she will discover exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.

Deadly consequences…

What happens next is entirely everyone else’s fault.

We all know the cover of this book by now, we all know its all over the BookTok, Bookstagram, and BookTwitter, not to mention all emails ive received recently from book related companies. So I obviously was dying to know what it was all about! 

I went into this with high hopes, everyone is raving about it. I didn’t love it. I liked it, and gave it 4 stars, but I thought with all the hype surrounding it, I was going to really love it. The scene of Athena’s death was quite traumatic, and I felt so bad for her, and June. I liked Athena, we didn’t really see much of her in the book but I kind of liked her character. I did quite like June too, a bit snarky at times etc, but she was alright. 

The story was a good telling of what I can only assume probably does go on in the writing industry, some not so great stuff, I just hope it doesn’t go on a lot.
