I'm a big fan of Kuang's writing and I'm glad to have read it, however I can't say I liked it (?) just because June is sooo (intentionally) unlikeable. I did not necessarily have a good time reading it but there was a perverse pleasure in watching how low she would go.
Graphic: Toxic friendship
Moderate: Racism
Minor: Suicidal thoughts and Sexual assault
