I simply have no words. (That's a lie, I have so many words)
THIS STINKING BOOK!
I CANNOT!
So this book is about a girl who takes her friends manuscript after the friend dies, which in of itself is messed up enough before you even add the fact that she is a white woman and the manuscript was wrote by an Asian woman about Asian people in WW|. So this book tackles many heavy topics with publishing, racism, sexism and many more.
I deeply enjoyed this read and highly recommend to anyone interested in the industry, or just the heavy topics dealt with in an open ended way where the reader can decide for themselves who is really in the wrong in general.
