Welcome to TBR spotlight,where I share a book I’m very excited to get to soon! Because let’s face it. Just because I haven’t read a book yet… doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk about it!
This week’s spotlight feature is…..
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.
So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.
So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.
But June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.
I have seen this book all over the place for as long as it has been published in 2023! Not to mention, it’s a Reese’s Book Club Pick. I am 100% certain it will be a good read. Possibly even a five-star read.
Honestly, I just have to read something by this highly praised author. She has a few books that are on my TBR.
Is this one on your TBR? Have you read it already?
