Yellowface

By Rebecca F Kuang

2 stars

The book covered interesting topics of race and cultural ownership of stories, but it turned more into a book about loneliness and madness. It got repetitive in its telling and it was hard to have empathy for a character that wasn't very nice.

A sad and twisty story. I like the book because the reader must think and join the dots to follow the story.
