I loved it. I really liked June for the first half of the book even though she is very flawed but something switched mid-way and she became something else and I didn’t like her. Definitely an unreliable narrator so I feel as a reader we don’t quite know if she is 100% honest with her narrative.  I recently saw Rebecca talk about Yellowface. She is a great writer and is such a well spoken author. Great commentary on the world of publishing and social media.
