5.0

If I could give this book 10 stars I would. It’s so well-written, it’s meta, it’s truly perfect satire. All of the commentary on race, publishing, “cancel culture”, booktok/twitter/bookstagram/goodreads, was extremely poignant. I am purposely keeping this vague because I think it’s better if you discover the mysteries of this book on your own. If you read ONE book this year, make it Yellowface by R.F. Kuang.
