Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
4.5

Mini Audiobook Review: 4.5 
This book has been making its rounds everywhere since before it came out back in May. This story was so polarizing and there really isn't any word that better describes it besides that. 

Even though this story is fictional, it felt so real in today's culture. The story sucked me in and I truly could not stop listening to it. The guilt that was just eating away at June just grew and grew as the book went on until it erupted. June was such an interesting character. She constantly was trying to convince herself that what she was doing was okay. 

It was such a wild ride & I highly recommend for everyone to read! 
I hope this is made into a limited series because it would translate so well into tv. 

This book is a perfect book club selection & I could see a lot of thought provoking conversations could come from it.
