Yellowface was one of my favorite reads this past year! I too kept putting it off, and my advice is 1) don't but also 2) maybe listen to it on audiobook instead. I kept picking it up and reading it in bookstores and then putting it back down ,but when I finally decided to listen on audiobook I DEVOURED it. The narration is really good and brings it to life.
Anecdotally, I then raved about it to my husband, who bought the book and had a hard time keeping up with it. I do think it comes across slightly more literary in written form but in audiobook all the humor and cleverness really shine. So that might be worth a try!

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually really struggle when it comes to audiobooks, but I'll see how I fare when I try to read it and see how it goes
