i'm biased bc i am also indian and in massachusetts and relate to that aspect of most of the stories. runner up is bliss montage by ling ma⦠i just love everything she does. honorable mentions are when watched by leopoldine core, self-help by lorrie moore, and back talk by danielle lazarin -- read all of these years ago and i keep returning
if thereβs a sad asian girl book ill read it and this one was stunning and crushed my heart with its relatability. short stories w protagonists managing their lack of self worth, feeling undesirable, being around white ppl, feeling weird as fuck in america, etc.
