I thought this book was incredibly boring. The main character did nothing but whine through out the 300 plus pages. I felt strongly that the author was writing an autobiography about personal grievances with the publishing industry. The main character only wrote about Chinese laborers because her dead friend happened to be Chinese. The author never convinced me Jane was in any way racist. She was envious of her friends success because she thought she was a better writer, and it wasn't "fair". She attributed her success to her ethnicity because of that. Waste of time and energy
