A reflection of ruthless decisions driven by a dark turn of events.
I devoured this one on audio in one sitting. Yellowface follows our main character June, who steals her colleagues manuscript after a tragic passing. While I know June wasn’t supposed to be a well liked character, there were plenty of moments where her thought process had me laughing out loud. Diabolical is a great way to describe this FMC.
RF Kuang addressed a unique plot here that could very well happen in modern day society. Fast paced and captivating, I was very engaged from start to finish.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys modern literary fiction with a bit of a thriller type feel.
