Finishing up Yellowface today. At first I ate up this rather unique, biting, & well written novel (plus the cover art is brilliant!). However, the prose started to lag towards the middle and I lost all respect for the protagonist towards the end when she continues to inflict the same "mistakes" on herself over and over again. I'm still glad I read it, I only wish Yellowface could end on a stronger note.

I'm obsessed with Alexandra and her emotive piano playing. I think she's brilliant beyond words; her music is identifiable, moving and fluid.
