Disorientation
I was hesitant to read this because the first reviews that came out were kind of mixed, but I absolutely loved this one! A novel about a Taiwanese American woman named Ingrid feels helpless and stuck in her academia career. Pursuing something she has absolutely no passion for has left her depressed and feeling adrift. But when she discovers a shocking secret about the poet she’s writing about chaos reigns, answers must be sought, and demons must be confronted.
My favorite parts were with the white boyfriend. I found them so funny (and sadly relatable) that I read some passages to my husband. I also love that this book seems ridiculous, but this stuff has totally happened! If you know you know. This novel is full of heart and showcases a woman coming to terms with who she is and her place in the world. It felt like a coming of age story, and I absolutely loved it.
