Yellowface by R.F. Kuang

4.0

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang had me hooked from the start! The pace is lightning fast—I couldn't put it down. But let me tell you, the protagonist? Complicated doesn't even begin to describe her. She's manipulative, constantly playing mind games with everyone, including us readers. And yet, there's this strange allure to her, this way she somehow convinces us she's the victim even as she's orchestrating chaos.

What really struck me is how the book delves into the whole cancel culture phenomenon. It's like a mirror reflecting back our online obsessions and the endless cycles of outrage that ultimately lead nowhere. It's a bold commentary on the futility of it all.

Sure, the book might seem a bit chaotic at times, but honestly, that just adds to the thrill. It's like you're on this rollercoaster ride and you can't predict what's coming next. And in the end, that's what makes it so darn compelling.
