Yellowface è una lettura coinvolgente, da non riuscire a staccarsi dalle pagine, con una pesante ma molto ironica critica verso l’attuale mondo editoriale americano. Ma non solo, è anche un romanzo sulla passione e l’amore per la scrittura, sul perché gli scrittori la scelgano come lavoro, sui retroscena dello scrivere un libro oggi, tra blocchi dello scrittore, agenti insistenti e social che non perdonano. Tutto questo è raccontato in prima persona da una protagonista di dubbia moralità e affidabilità, June Hayward che nonostante non susciti simpatia per come si comporta o per come pensa, riesce comunque a tirare ǝl lettorǝ dalla sua parte grazie alla caratterizzazione realistica e vivida che ne fa l’autrice.

This was a wild book commenting on society and the publishing world. All of the characters were so insufferable, which is most likely the entire point, but it was still very interesting rfk put her spin on the literary world and how she views it. Not the best book I have ever read, but it’s definitely very different than the books I read and it was a good change of pace as well as allowing me to learn a bit more about the literary world and who has the right to tell a story.

In an effort to keep a new reader in the dark, I will be including the rest of my review in spoiler tags so you can go in blind
I wish the bitchiness of our MC was leaned into more. Does she suck? Absolutely. What gives me pause is the attempt at giving her redeeming qualities. She feels bad about plagiarism, but it's clear she has a penchant for it. Lean into it. Gaslight the audience. Make them feel like they're bad for judging her choices. It felt a lot like a teen drama a la Pretty Little Liars or The Vampire Diaries. So much mellow drama. I don't regret reading it, but also not my first choice in a stack.

I do not read a lot of books with unlikable main characters, so this was a bit out of my norm. But the commentary is excellent, and overall a creative narrative.
