I loved Yellowface so much - my top book of 2024 so far. Entertaining, gripping but also so insightful on the publishing industry and its dark sides. Great review, and I love your whole concept of bread and books!

I was lucky enough to pick up a hardback of Yellowface at a hotel in Glasgow earlier this year. I left a paperback version of Still Me in its place. I felt silly lugging it around (after all, who takes a hardback on a plane when every ounce matters?) but I was so glad I did because it kept me thoroughly entertained while I waited for seven hours at London airport. June was so sad and lonely. I felt quite sorry for her.

I've just finished Everyone in this room will someday be dead by Emily Austin, which has similar themes about loneliness and anxiety and really enjoyed it too.

Those buns look delicious! I am still yet to read Yellowface but every review I read of it makes me more and more interested too. It sounds wild haha

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review of Yellowface. I’d seen a fair amount of mentions and was curious what it was really like. I appreciate your review format, too!
