Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
5.0

I absolutely loved the metatextual elements of the book. I loved how the narrator kept oscillating between revealing her true feelings and trying to cover up the truth (although both were entirely subconscious). The unreliable narrator of it all was great. I loved that the narrator would sometimes say true things, like that it is actually okay for people to write about people from different cultures, but she still managed to twist it to fit her self-serving narrative. Overall, an absolutely masterful work.
