This came highly recommended from one of our guests on Re-Creative, and I was not disappointed. Kuang's satire is funny and savage. The commentary on cancel culture is also well-observed. You may not enjoy the ending (don't worry, no spoilers) but the ride is worth it even if you don't.
The No. 1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller from literary sensation R.F. Kuang

Athena Liu is a literary darling and June Hayward is literally nobody.
White lies When Athena dies in a freak accident, June steals her unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own under the ambiguous name Juniper Song.
Did you know you can survive being swallowed by a whale? Or that octopus wrestling used to be an actual sport? Or, that once a town in Oregon didn't know what to do with a whale carcass that washed up on their beaches, so they...BLEW IT UP?
Hilarious, relatable, and so honest. This book captures all the highs and lows of being single in your thirties, navigating the modern dating scene, aging parents, career, and evolving friendships. I found myself laughing uproariously for the first half of the book, and then crying in the second half. An absolute rollercoaster of a story told by a skilled writer with a strong narrative voice.
