Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang
Athena Liu is a literary darling and June Hayward is literally nobody.
White liesWhen Athena dies in a freak accident, June steals her unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own under the ambiguous name Juniper Song. Dark humourBut as evidence threatens June's stolen success, she will discover exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves. Deadly consequences...
What happens next is entirely everyone else's fault.
