Huang has done it again. Her writing is something that leaps off the page forcing the reader to feel the blunt emotions are character is facing. You can't tell me that Kuang is a terrible writer. You can try, but I'll never agree with you.

Yellowface was a sick and twisted (and I daresay horror) tale of greed and the nasty world of publishing and writing.

It is wild seeing the poor reviews of this book. While I hated our MC (she is not supposed to be likable), and the story itself made me absolutely sick for what she was doing, I found the book to be another five star read.

I've seen the social media takedowns firsthand about a problematic author. Or, in some cases, an innocent until proven guilty, problematic author. Once there is a bandwagon it doesn't take a whole lot to convince the rest of the community to grab their pitchforks. I've seen it happen to authors, to publishers, and even editors. It is as nasty as Kuang portrays in Yellowface. This book was an absolute train wreck and I ate up every single bit.

You could feel June's panic, her horror, as her downfall began. I've never been so stressed reading a book in my life. It's a very compelling story and one worthy a discussion. I think I'll be thinking of this one for awhile, but that's what Kuang does. She writes something that will stick with you.

Kuang had a point to make with Yellowface and she nailed it. Brilliantly done. If you hate satire this is not for you.
