thanks for this post. I’ve bookmarked this writer in my mind now, based on what she had to say.

Reading the article, I enjoy the nuance of having both characters be, to put it bluntly, jackasses. Without spoiling too much, June might steal the manuscript, but Athena has a tendency to fictionalize extremely emotional and traumatic instances in her friends’ lives for her novels. It gives this extra-dimension where even the artist we’re supposed to feel sorry for is a bit morally dubious

This is my current read! Only three chapters in but good so far. This is my first book so far this year where I’m already interested in the storytelling straight away.

I read it on a flight and she very much succeeded at making it feel like anxiety

New to reading here!! I’m 6 chapters in and im in love. I love the concept of a jealous/ angry/ vengefulI lead. If anyone knows of books that follow this same feeling (?) please let me know! Another example of a book I like is “She is a Haunting” – angry at the world lead trying to work out life . Ty!

How is Yellowface different from Mithu Sanyal‘s Identitti? Did anyone read both?

Almost done with this book and she accomplished it. I can’t put it down and it does indeed feel like an anxiety attack. I don’t remember the last time a book was able to make me feel that way. I both love her and hate her for it.
