      Little Gods by Meng Jin: centers on the relationship between a Chinese-American woman and her physicist mother & beautifully explores migration, shame and trauma. Great character study + depiction of ambivalence around motherhood + exploration of how people change over timepic.twitter.com/wDs0Qx43Tz

      2. Indelicacy by Amina Cain: short, surreal novel about a woman who marries a wealthy man (a little Pygmalion-esque) but finds herself dissatisfied and preoccupied with writing and friendship instead. Gorgeously written, weird and brief.pic.twitter.com/Ah8dtKXgnx

      3. Hard to Love by Briallen Hopper: thoughtful essays that are a homage to non-romantic forms of love--friendship, siblings, unconventional families. "Sometimes it seems like there are two American creeds, self-reliance and marriage, and neither of them is mine." Highly rec.pic.twitter.com/cG0XvP23Ly

      4. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. Twisty thriller about a woman who murders her husband and stops talking afterwards and the psychotherapist trying to figure out what’s going on. It was... okay? I enjoy these but books in this genre are often kind of unsatisfying to mepic.twitter.com/rz9oVBm0RU

      5. Body of Truth by Harriet Brown. Read this after Marisa Meltzer’s killer The Cut article. Things mentioned: weight doesn’t actually affect longevity as much as we assume, diets *very* rarely work, animals are also fatter than they used to be, & why this all happens is unclearpic.twitter.com/dSMPekBwvv

      6. Minor Feelings by Cathy Hong. This book is astonishing & you’re Asian-American you should read it right now. “Patiently educating a white person about race is draining ... it’s more than a chat about race. It’s ontological ... like explaining to a person why you should exist”pic.twitter.com/b6yuisWX6c

      7. The Red Lotus by Chris Bohjalian. If you’re looking for a plague thriller during plague times this is it!! Fast-paced + clever + unpredictable. Featuring a mysterious death, Vietnam, rats, and scientists.pic.twitter.com/ilDivyvjp3

          8. Writers & Lovers by Lily King. About a young woman working as a waitress despite having an MFA coming into her own as, well, a lover and a writer. Particularly resonant for me right now but also sharp + beautifully observed + a comforting read.pic.twitter.com/hz2AL3E1ld

          9. Euphoria by Lily King. I bought this in 2015 but didn’t read until now—love triangle between 1930s anthropologists studying tribes in New Guinea based off a real-life situation from Margaret Mead’s life. Filled with longing, heartbreak, complicated relationshipspic.twitter.com/sVD1wjigCN

          10. Strangers Assume My Girlfriend is My Nurse by Shane Burcaw. I love the Squirmy and Grubs youtube channel and it’s really interesting reading stories about an interabled relationship since we have so few good social narratives about them! Plus Shane is hilarious.pic.twitter.com/ne0tKfCTn6

          11. My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell. Explores the psychological dynamics of a 15-year-old girl who had a relationship with her teacher, then and now. Claustrophic and intense, weirdly romanticized at parts. Heavy themes of obsession/abuse/attachment/healing.pic.twitter.com/oWG8Xq3hgQ

          12. Draft No. 4 by John McPhee. A book on the writing process, McPhee on McPhee, v deft. Happy @andy_matuschak turned me onto this, definitely the right book at the right time. He has this line about how writers are either overtly insecure or covertly insecure that kills me.pic.twitter.com/E6yeWAyVdH

          13. You Think It, I'll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld. @csittenfeld is so incisive it blows my mind. I don't read too many short stories but I remember stumbling across one of hers in the New Yorker and just being like, what... how? She skewers her characters. I love it.pic.twitter.com/VtXQA48rxO

          14. The Buddhist by Dodie Bellamy. A woman falls in and out of love with a Buddhist, in the style of I Love Dick. This is a reread and I enjoyed it much more this this time aroundpic.twitter.com/Do8ymnehzO

          15. I’ll Tell You in Person by Chloe Caldwell. A frank, messy, beautifully written essay collection about being in your late twenties (topics include heroin, bulimia, Lena Dunham). Reminds me a bit of Kathleen Halepic.twitter.com/rJ1MqDlvJ9

          16. The End of Overeating by David A. Kessler. Really well-written book about why hyperpalatable foods are making us fatter and the industry that’s creating them. Nothing shocking for me bc I’ve read simjlar books, but v interesting and informativepic.twitter.com/fbdK4XP83s
