Yellowface by R. F. Kuang:
A freak accident, a stolen novel, and a little white lie. Only that lie isn't so little.
When literary darling Athena Liu dies in a freak accident, June Hayward steals her novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. Surely June can get away with editing it and passing it off as her own work, right? And isn't it totally okay for her to be rebranded with the author name Juniper Song and an ethically ambiguous author photo?
As Athena's shadow lurks and evidence rises that threatens June's stolen success, she battles with just how far she's willing to go to protect what she thinks she deserves.
