Yellowface

Wrote a review for

Quite interesting book. I don’t remember having read similar books before. I definitely watched movies, but not books.

The story starts from something unexpected: the death of a friend. Then 1/3 of the book is a story of success, 3/4 is about depression and bullying on the Internet. By some random people, but the most important by the character herself. And the last 1/4 is about redemption.

I am positive that many people would see the main character as negative, a person who steals, who is racist and white supermasist. The one who doesn’t understand how it is to be an immigrant, non-white, etc. But in our woke and left world for me, it gave a gulp of fresh water, a new way to see some things.

It is really interesting, what actually the author, being a Chinese American, thinks of her main character. Does she hate her, does she understand her and try to redeem her? Or did she just write a very good book and expect people to fight on the Internet who is right and Rebecca (the author) can just get her royalty?

Sad story about future of Trojan women, what they thought were root of their problems and their grief. Story was emotional, author made me almost crying and this is only on 40 pages of play.
