  • Best: Yellowface
  • Really enjoyed Yellowface.
  • I enjoyed withcindy's YouTube video on Yellowface, which discusses privilege in the world of publishing and how there were some gaps there too. Would definitely recommend that one if anyone is curious about this.

Cons

  • Did not like: Yellowface - R F Kuang
