Yellowface by R.F. Kuang

4.0

challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This books was fun but stressful to read. It forces you to empathize with the main character even as she does some terrible things, self sabotages, and mentally tortures herself. There are a lot of racially based themes and questions around privilege. The author also created story lines for other books within the story that all sound incredibly interesting and well thought out. Don’t mistake this book as a light read.
