Yellowface: A Reese's Book Club Pick - Paperback

Yellowface: A Reese’s Book Club Pick – Paperback by R.F. Kuang is a sharp psychological thriller about ambition, authorship, identity, cultural appropriation, and the darker side of the publishing industry.

June Hayward and Athena Liu were expected to become rising literary stars, but Athena achieves the success June desperately wants. When June witnesses Athena’s sudden death, she steals her unfinished manuscript about Chinese laborers during World War I and publishes it under her own name.

Told through an unreliable narrator, Yellowface blends dark humor, suspense, and social commentary. It is a compelling choice for readers who enjoy contemporary fiction, publishing-world dramas, morally complex characters, and thought-provoking book club discussions.
