Absolutely riveting. The pinnacle of schadenfreude. 

If you found The Poppy War trilogy or Babel too much of a fantasy epic to dive into, I implore you to still give Yellowface a try— it’s a fast-paced, gripping contemporary thriller that I got through in a single night and couldn’t recommend more, proving yet again why R.F. Kuang continues to be one of the best authors currently writing.
