Yellowface is worth the hype 🤌🏻 My first read by R. F. Kuang, and it was such a compelling read. I stayed engaged the whole time, and Yellowface also made me want to read more of R. F. Kuang's work. The writing is impressive, and I had difficulty putting the book down once I got into the plot. The plots are wild and well-written, and the main character, June Hayward, is ridiculous and flawed but endearing, who undoubtedly makes some dubious decisions and tries to live with them. I was utterly engrossed in the story from beginning to end because I had to know how June would navigate the things she had set up. She is delusional and truly believes what she is doing is acceptable, and she is a queen of self-justification 🤧 What did she do? ➠ Swipe left 👆🏻 I think R. F. Kuang does an amazing job of creating a character you absolutely hate but unintentionally root for. It is not always the proper action to plagiarism, but I understand why June decided to do what she did. Do I justify her action? 🤨😅 That's so messed up! I sympathized with her when her private story was stolen, but it is still no reason for her to reciprocate Athena's action. Besides, it is difficult to say who is the right person who could tell a story. I don't know much about the publishing industry, and I felt that this book was a great look into the world of publication and the difficulties faced by writers of all backgrounds. The emphasis on how social media impacted the author's life and the book's sale is also fascinating. Despite all these good things I liked about Yellowface, this book is not getting a 5-star from me. It was fast-paced with an enjoyable yet tense story, but I found the ending rather unexpected and wanted more. It should not end like that. It made me scream after I reached the last page. However, after I took a long time to write this review, it somehow makes me think there's no solid ending for this particular story 👌🏻 For those who want to read Yellowface, what are you waiting for? I urge you to pick up this book immediately! Thank you, @times.reads @putrifariza for sending me this page-turner book 🫶🏻💛 #siqahbookreviews #yellowface #rfkuang
