not my fave
Reviewed: 07-05-25
I have been wanting to get into reading Stephen King more so wanted to start with the classics. Never read this or watched movie but knew a major title. Feel like the story was a little all over the place. LeBay possessing Arnie but also possessing the car? but then why let Christine get in such bad shape? Audio had a little static and sometimes narrator voice annoying. Still interesting overrall but not scary.

I saw a list of hard to read books (due to the subject matter) and this one was on the list. I was naive going into this having not watched the movie or listened to the foreword as suggested. It was definitely hard to listen to, but more so that I felt like it was long, whiney and I didn't care for any of the characters. Felt sexualized where it didn't need to be. I like narrator but would I recommend? no. Definitely a book I'm good reading only once. Will stay with me.

Story
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.

Reviewed: 05-12-25
A great book but hard to read! the main character is hard to like. Manipulating, self pitying and delusional. Lies and guilt become so ingrained and out of control it has no where to release itself except her nightmares and coming to a head at the end. Hits on the power of social media, cancel culture, cultural representation and racism. Stepped out of my comfort zone with this one but would highly recommend.
