What this book is about
Juniper Hayward watches her friend Athena Liu — a more talented, more celebrated Chinese-American author — die in a freak accident. In the confusion, June takes Athena's unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own. The book is a huge hit. Then the internet figures it out. A dark satire of publishing, race, and white ambition.
