INSTANTNEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK

Hard to put down, harder to forget. Stephen King, #1New York Timesbestselling author

White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didnt write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainlynotAsian Americanin this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F.

Kuang, the #1New York Timesbestselling author of Babel.

Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athenas a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody.

Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.

So when June witnesses Athenas death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athenas just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.

So what if June edits Athenas novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Songcomplete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesnt this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? Thats what June claims, and theNew York Timesbestseller list seems to agree.

But June cant get away from Athenas shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring Junes (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.

With its totally immersive first-person voice,Yellowfacegrapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F.

Kuangs novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.
