Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
5.0

hooked from the first chapter

This was a really enjoyable, gripping read. I read the second half in a day as I was finding it difficult to put it down!! So many twists and turns, you’re not quite sure where the story is going to take you next. I think it really shines a light on the insular world of social media and the scary affect it can have on people but also the weird thing that is can be totally consuming, but then you put your phone down and there’s this whole other world going on! I’m not sure if I’m totally sold on the ending, I would’ve liked to see what happened when she published her version of events but I guess the story would go on forever. I found it quite enlightening about the passion and process that writers have for telling their stories as well
