Yellowface by R. F. Kuang • When a freak pancake-eating accident tragically claimed Athena's life, June stole her frenemy's unpublished manuscript while she waited for help to arrive. Seizing the opportunity, she made edits and presented it as her own, propelling herself to fame and fortune.

Who gets to tell whose stories? This book plunges us into the complexities of racial narratives and literary privilege through June’s life post-publication. June's self-doubt, envy, and unhealed wounds bubble beneath the surface, blurring her reality.
