"Yellowface": A Compelling Critique of Race, Writing, and Publishing
When I first found R. F. Kuang’s 2023 novel Yellowface on Goodreads while browsing Asian American books earlier this year, I immediately requested a hold for it at my library. Although it’s easy for writers to write about writers, I have a soft spot for those stories. Combined with the novel’s exploration of cultural appropriation and the invisibility of Asian American voices, Yellowface promised to be a compelling read.

Is "The Maid" The Best Mystery & Thriller of 2022?
It’s been a long time since I picked up a mystery or thriller novel. Having read my fair share of the genre over the years, I got burned out after seeing similar plots and concepts. However, after receiving a recommendation to read The Maid, I decided to give it a chance. It helped that Nita Prose’s debut novel had high ratings and was also winner of the Best Mystery and Thriller Novel for the 2022 Goodreads Choice Awards.

Is "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" Worth The Hype?
I’ve seen The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo everywhere from social media to bookstore endcaps to book-related emails promoting buzzworthy reads. Although I don’t seek out historical fiction, Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel intrigued me. Along with the high ratings, the premise of an enigmatic movie star reminded me of one of my favorite novels, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, featuring a troubled filmmaker, so I hoped Evelyn Hugo would be similarly enjoyable.

Rachel Reviews: The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne
Ah, John Boyne. I know that I will never be disappointed picking up one of his books. He is a great storyteller and his books, the ones which are specifically focused on Ireland, seem to have the most depth and the most feeling. Is this just coincidence? I don't think so. I think Ireland is important, because out of the four books by Boyne I've read, the most intense for me as a reader have both been set in Ireland: this one and A History of Loneliness.
