* "lacking concern, regret or remorse about other people's distress" (June is happy to find out that [[spoiler: Candace has been fired]], usually feels like Athena deserved to have her work stolen, and only rarely has pangs of conscience which she then buries)
* "being unable to control their anger" ([[spoiler: June attacks Candace in a violent rage and considers killing her. She also attacks Diana.]])

Mrs. Liu clearly doesn't want to get whatever's in Athena's private notes to get out. We do find out ''some'' of the dark Liu family history--Athena's father committed suicide, and many of her relatives were killed in violent conflicts. But Athena is said to have talked about that in interviews, meaning there's something else, possibly even ''worse'', that she wasn't saying. Geoff also notes that there was "a lot of trauma" in the Liu family; he might know some stuff that Athena wasn't willing to discuss in interviews. Perhaps Athena was abused by a family member, and Mrs. Liu knows, and doesn't want all that to become public, either because it'd blow up what's left of her family, or because she knows Athena wouldn't want anyone else to know about it.

[[WMG: June has Antisocial Personality Disorder (often known as sociopathy) ]]

Let's look at the symptoms, shall we?

* "exploiting, manipulating or violating the rights of others" (June steals her deceased friend's manuscript and lies about being the author)
* "lacking concern, regret or remorse about other people's distress" (June is happy to find out that [[spoiler: Candace has been fired]], usually feels like Athena deserved to have her work stolen, and only rarely has pangs of conscience which she then buries)
* "being unable to control their anger" ([[spoiler: June attacks Candace in a violent rage and considers killing her. She also attacks Diana.]])
* "lacking guilt, or not learning from their mistakes" ([[spoiler: the book ends with June planning to write a memoir continuing to lie about the whole situation]])
* "blame others for problems in their lives" (It's NeverMyFault for June, who feels like a victim when she's exposed)
* "repeatedly break the law" (fraud, [[spoiler: assault, and attempted murder]])

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG:June stole everything she published]]

The whole novel is just June admitting only to what she was caught doing, but everything she published she stole from Athena. She stole Athena's '''final''' draft of ''The Last Front'', stole Athena's '''final''' draft of ''Mother Witch''. She only copped to stealing as much of ''The Last Front'' as she thought people would swallow considering her admission, only copped to the first paragraph of ''Mother Witch'' since that's all anyone knew about. She even stole most of ''Yellowface'' from Athena and thinly adapted it to her circumstances.

Also her real name is George Santos.
