Yellowface | Rebecca F. Kuang
June Hayward, a struggling white writer, watches in envy as her friend Athena Liu, a successful Chinese American author, dominates the publishing world. When Athena dies in a tragic accident, June impulsively takes her unpublished manuscript—an explosive historical novel about Chinese laborers in World War I. Rebranding herself as Juniper Song, she edits the work and claims it as her own, skyrocketing to literary fame.
But the deeper she sinks into her stolen identity, the more the past threatens to unravel her success. As questions arise and accusations mount, June must fight to maintain the lie—or risk losing everything.
