Welcome to Litsy!

This story was deliciously wicked! The narrator was quite adept at making excuses for her insane behavior and I was honestly gobsmacked at some of the rationale she used…it would have been comical at times if it wasn‘t so horrible. It was also really interesting getting an inside look at the publishing industry and the hypocrisy within it. I‘ve never read anything quite like it and I devoured it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫

I loved this book! It‘s our first book club read and I can‘t wait to discuss. It was like watching a car accident - cringey but in a highly readable way! (21)
⭐️ : 4/5

Well written and attention catching. I love books about controversial topics and this one was awesome. I loved to hate the narrator all the away through. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reading at the track meet. This book is sooo cringy 😣

This was like watching a car crash. I couldn‘t look away. Almost every character involved was self-serving and driven by an absolute narcissistic desire for success, but the author was so good and you are so invested in what happens next. The whole plot is really digging at a deeper issue of cultural history and authorship. The ever present threat of social media‘s ire gave it and added weight. Lived up to the hype for me.

I‘ve seen this book recommended in many forums, & have been wanting to read it. It drew me in from the start. If you‘ve read it, you know what I mean. I wish the entire book had been as good as the beginning.It‘s definitely a quick read. I can‘t say that any of the characters were likable,nor I don‘t think they were supposed to be.It‘s hard to believe that this is the same author that wrote Babel. The 2 books were so different.

Yellowface addresses many controversial topics of the publishing industry. Who has the right to tell minority stories? How thin is the line between inspired story telling and intellectual theft? Is cancel culture harmful and abusive or effective and just? It certainly made me question my own thoughts and opinions on the subjects! 4/5

This book reads like a dream, a thriller dream and it isn‘t. First chapter, main character‘s college friend dies “In a weird tragic way” who also was a successful writer. Then the “protagonist” who also is a writer, does the unthinkable. We will leave it at that. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
