Yellowface by R.F. Kuang

Authors Juniper Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena is a literary darling and June is a nobody. When June witnesses Athena’s death, she acts on impulse, stealing Athena’s just-finished masterpiece. Yellowface is a satirical and darkly humorous novel.
