Yellowface: Why write a novel when you can steal a manuscript... and an identity

June Hayward is a struggling writer whose career has the structural integrity of a damp tissue. Rather fortunately, she happens to be with Athena Liu — literary darling, national treasure, and human embodiment of “effortlessly excellent” — on the night Athena dies in a freak accident involving pancakes. June mourns appropriately for approximately three seconds before noticing Athena’s freshly completed manuscript sitting on the desk like a gift from the Career Fairy. June takes it, because of course she does, and embarks on a new literary career as Juniper Song.By the end, June has lost her career, her reputation, and her grip on reality, but she still thinks she’s the real victim — which, honestly, is the most accurate depiction of online discourse ever written.=====================================Find more of our Unserious Book Reviews on our website http://unseriousbookreviews.com/Instagram: @unseriousbrBluesky: @unseriousbookrvws
