A really good book and such an interesting and important insight into the publishing world and how who you are impacts how you're treated. I really hated June, and had to keep reminding myself that the author is Chinese in order to not rage and hate the book itself because of that 😅 So well written, I definitely had emotional reactions listening to this!

 very tight and fast narrative that was just a little spooky in an interesting way, i had fun with this. i also wasnt expecting so much insight into the book publishing industry.

Impressive and thought provoking story telling. I hated the main character and found myself talking at her through the whole book but I also couldn't put it down. Also created lots of questions when disagreeing with the main character but also disagreeing with ending antagonist too. Really well done, got all the emotions going. loved to hate it.

It was very well written. The pain of reading from the MC's pov brought my rating down - which I know was the point. Very well done.
