‘Yellowface’ doesn’t present a black and white perspective. June Hayward - our main narrator - may be seen as a literary thief who stole her friend’s work, but I appreciate how the author delves into the complexity by giving us insight into her thoughts. Despite having dreams and hopes, she overlooks the boundaries that shouldn't be crossed to become not only a prominent figure in literature but also a decent human being.

The book boldly exposes the publishing industry, offering readers a glimpse into the process of book publishing and its darker aspects. ‘Yellowface’ unfolds like a scandal, with intense debates and deceit, although it does spend too many pages on gossip and Twitter wars.

Kuang’s writing captivates with its fast pace and satirical tone, making it hard to stop listening to this audiobook.
