“A fun and engrossing novel that has the feel and pace of a thriller. It takes us into the world of publishing in the 21st century, covering such moral quandaries as 'should you really steal a friend's unpublished manuscript and pass it off as your own'? Kuang also takes aim at how we, and the media, address cultural appropriation and how 'taking a stance' on a particular issue can very easily unravel when prodded.”

THIS IS ONE HELL OF A STORY.

IT’S JUST NOT HERS TO TELL.

When failed writer June Hayward witnesses her rival Athena Liu die in a freak accident, she sees her opportunity? and takes it.

So what if it means stealing Athena’s final manuscript?

So what if it means ‘borrowing’ her identity?

And so what if the first lie is only the beginning?

Finally, June has the fame she always deserved. But someone is about to expose her?

What happens next is entirely everyone else’s fault.
