Did you know that Melbourne is also the name of a city in Florida, not just the second most populated city in Australia? I learnt this when June was bemoaning how its so boring she's just from Melbourne when the worldly Athena Liu grew up in Sydney and I got confused because I was thinking they spent their childhood in the same place.
Yellowface is good as a skewering of the publishing industry and cultural appropriation - the ending loses me as it goes more into being a thriller and invoking unreality
