A quick-witted satire which follows June Hayward, an unsuccessful author who has lived in her friend's shadow since college, on her descent into the depths of madness and cancel culture. When her friend, Athena, passes away, June attempts to take on pieces of her identity under the assumption that making herself seem "more Asian" will make her more successful in publishing.

This book was unhinged in the best way and made me actually laugh out loud at some points. The satirical aspects were on-point and the way in which the online book/publishing community was portrayed was accurate, even as someone who more casually peruses these spaces.

Although it is exaggerated and over-the-top, situations like the one June puts herself in definitely do happen (see: any Authors Behaving Badly video) and it's both funny and thought-provoking to experience them from the perpetrator's perspective.
