Athena Liu is a literary darling. Juniper Hayward is literally nobody. When Athena dies in a freak accident, Juniper steals her unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own under the ambiguous name June Song. But as evidence threatens Juniper's stolen success, she will discover exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves. What happens next is entirely everyone else's fault.    

STAFF REVIEW

A novelist steals her dead friend's manuscript and retools it into a bestseller. A scathing and hilarious satire on race, gender, fame and publishing that pushes every hot button and some you've never thought of! As meta as it gets, but in a great way.
