Yellowface

This book is basically the bookternet. Everyone single character in this book is messy and at least somewhat problematic.

There were two main discussions this book wanted to have. Firstly, where do we get our inspiration. Obviously our protagonist is in the wrong because she literally stole her dead friend's manuscript and is using it as her own. But her dead friend also has some skeletons in her closet as far as inspiration for stories is concerned.

And of course we have the discussion that is highlighted in the title Yellowface. Our protagonist is a white women telling the story of asian people. But her dead friend also told stories from experiences she herself never had.

This book asked A LOT of questions and never really answers them, but instead asks the reader to think on them.
