5.0

A fast paced book about a white woman passing off an Asian woman's work as her own (and the inevitable fallout). I didn't expect to be so hooked by the cringey narrator, but it was like a trainwreck that I couldn't look away from. The pacing makes it feel like a thriller. I couldn't put it down!
