Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
3.5
challenging dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Yellowface begins as a biting satire of the Publishing industry, tokenism, cancel culture - where no one comes out looking good. Seriously, every character is so unlikable. 

But, as it goes on, the message gets heavy-handed and repetitive with the story falling apart in the last quarter.
