A top view of the book “Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty” by Kaila Yu that is sitting centered in the frame flat on top of a laptop going diagonally from the top left to the bottom right of the photo. Both are laying flat on top of a wooden desk.

Library return! 📚

“Fetishized” by Kaila Yu

Hard to get through, not because it was poorly written, but because of how raw, honest, and vulnerable it is.
