So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song\u2014complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? This piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller. That is what June believes, and&nbsp;<em>The New York Times<\/em>&nbsp;bestseller list agrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-custom-color-4-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-8 wp-container-content-72558541 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0;font-style:normal;font-weight:700\">But June cannot escape Athena\u2019s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens her stolen success.

Yet somehow at the same time, I felt like I was colluding with her the more I kept reading. It was a weird experience simultaneously despising her but also rooting for her because deep down there&#8217;s a part of me that resonates with the feeling of wanting to be seen and understood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-custom-color-4-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-13 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605<br>5 \/ 5<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click to read sample \ud83d\udcd6or listen to the audiobook \ud83c\udfa7 R.F.
