We've all dreamed big in some way.

And sometimes, we've seen the people closest to us achieve those dreams ... while sitting on the sidelines.

That's the setup for bestselling author R.F. Kuang's recent release, Yellowface.

What happens from there? The high achiever dies in a freak accident, and the second fiddle seizes her chance at the spotlight.

You can read an excerpt of Yellowface at Literary Hub.
