Finished this book in two or three gos, and I'm gasping for air. In movies or TV shows, I can't get past my second-hand embarrassment, but give me a horrible, cringe, unlikeable, and unreliable main character and I'll eat that book up.
June is truly the worst person in the world, and while the ending of the novel isn't a huge plot twist, I found what came together and what fell apart perfectly balanced, hilarious, and horrific. I typically find when social media or smartphones are included in a novel they're distracting or heavy-handed, but the inclusion of Twitter especially here felt exactly like watching train wrecks on that site with all the giddiness and horror a pile-on can evoke.
The lengths and flips June does to avoid confronting her racism was impeccable. Every detail was gut-wrenching and addicting. The depth we get from every character is also incredible - the way Athena, her mother, her ex, and June's publishers were all flushed-out kept the story feeling so real. 
Just as I felt after the Poppy Wars and Babel, I'm on the edge of my seat for more from Kuang!
