I absolutely love R.F. Kuang but I was really nervous to pick this book up. There are a lot of mixed reviews on this book and I didn't want to taint my love for R.F. Kuang if I didn't love this one. However, this book was not at all what I thought it was going to be. It was definitely different from her other books and while I love them more, Yellowface was gripping and had me reading for hours at a time to get to the ending.
