Yellowface is a thought-provoking and razor-sharp read that I devoured in 2 days. June is a captivating unreliable narrator and kept me on the edge of my seat as she dodged metaphorical bullets left and right as people threatened to uncover her deception. This book made me question my own moral compass, as I found myself rooting for June to get away with it at times, other times I desperately wanted her to get caught. I felt her paranoia, her guilt, her frustration, her jealousy.
I also enjoyed the ‘behind the scene’ look at the publishing industry and its cutthroat environment with a disregard for cultural sensitivity that is both shocking and intriguing.The social commentary sheds light on relevant and complex issues, making "Yellowface" a standout on my bookshelf.
It's fast-paced, satirical, and a must Read.
