#1 New York Times Bestseller · Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Time, Esquire, and more
When struggling author June Hayward witnesses her friend — the brilliant Chinese American writer Athena Liu — die in a freak accident, she steals Athena’s unpublished manuscript and publishes it under a “more palatable” name. What follows is a razor-sharp, wildly readable satire about cultural appropriation, privilege, and the cutthroat world of publishing. Witty, biting, and impossible to put down.
