Perfect for you if...

You enjoy satirical thrillers that skewer the publishing world and unpack what we actually value in storytelling.
You're drawn to morally grey protagonists who are smart enough to know they're being awful but do it anyway.
You've felt the sting of watching less talented people get ahead and want to see that rage explored in fiction.

Maybe not for you if...

You need to like your main character or at least root for them by the end of the book.
You prefer mysteries with tidy resolutions rather than ones that leave you questioning the entire premise.
You're sensitive to themes around literary theft, plagiarism, and cultural appropriation played for dark comedy.

About this book

When failed writer June Hayward witnesses her rival Athena Liu die in a freak accident, she sees an opportunity and takes it. She steals Athena's final manuscript, assumes her identity, and begins a chain of deception that launches her into the fame she always wanted. But someone is about to expose her. What follows becomes everyone else's fault—or so June tells herself. The novel explores jealousy, talent, success, and who gets to tell which stories. It was a #1 Sunday Times bestseller and a #5 New York Times bestseller.
