Will I be thinking of this book for a long time.... Yes
Was it absolutly amazing... No
Did I have a fun time listening to it ... Yes!!!
As mentioned in other comments this book started out like Yellow face and ended as a culty story. I really enjoyed the commentary on influencers. But was glad I read reviews prior to the 50% mark because I would have been so shocked at the tonal shift.
But congrats to Zhang because Julie Chan is probably the first truly mostly grey character I had read about in a LONG time.
