A very ambitious and interesting read based on the author’s own experiences working in the film industry.

I’m glad the story was told by an Asian woman. We are so often stereotyped as meek and submissive and reliably silent. Unfortunately, I hated the format it was told in - a 400+ page interview. If she’d found a more novel way to do it, and off there has been less telling and more showing of the racism angles, I wouldn’t given this a solid four and maybe even a five.

Solid read! If you like Evelyn Hugo, I would recommend. Sort of wish the format was played around with a bit more, especially the unreliable narrator bit of it all.

An amazing book
I felt nauseous throughout most of it (a credit to the power of the writing that it caused such a physical reaction). It was so well written and real and powerful and I can't really describe what the reading experience was like but I think this is one of the best books I've read and I'm glad that there are authors and women willing to create and share stories like these and confront societal norms in that way.
