Yellowface

4.5

I found myself turning the pages quickly on this one, completely drawn in and needing to know the ending. To be clear, this is the first of any of her novels- certainly, upon reading some of these Goodreads reviews- I'm intrigued further and have no background for some of these reviews, so I won't be commenting on that.

But, what I can say, is this is a compelling novel that focuses on an unreliable narrator whose thoughts are at once completely unhinged,racist, and unrelatable, yet also grounded in a way where you can follow every thread of her twisted logic while regarding it with complete distaste. It feels unforgettable and novel. Everyone in this book has complexity and insecurities, there is no good and unmarked soul here- everyone reeks of desperation and loneliness.
