Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
5.0
What can I say about Yellowface.
A contemporary fictional (as far as we know ;) ) satire novel based on the inner workings of the publishing company and one c-rated author who wishes she could break it big. But alas, she has a friend, who isn’t exactly innocent herself, who does have the like she so desperately yearns for and lo and behold after a terrible and super off freak accidental death, the narrator is given the chance to steal her belated friend’s last manuscript. Enter a surreal story of making it big and all the travesties that live within the publishing world.
R.F Kuang has a way of sinking you deep into her words, and you’ll find yourself reading faster than your fingers can catch up. All the characters were well thought out and honestly you may not like some of them. This book was refreshing and unlike anything I’ve ever read. I so desperately wish there would be a continuation to this book — one can only hope.
Thank you Net Galley and William Morrow for the ARC!
