This book slowly draws you in and suddenly, you're spiraling. As an Asian American, I was simultaneously shocked and not shocked, in the best way.
After the death of her literary rival in a freak accident, author June Hayward steals her just-finished masterpiece, sending it to her agent as her own work, but as emerging evidence threatens her success, she discovers just how far she'll go to keep what she thinks she deserves.
