Joan Is Okay: A Novel

"This is the first book I loved this year. It’s about a Chinese American doctor in New York City who is both grieving her father and trying to figure out what it means to be a woman, a professional, the daughter of immigrants, an American and neurodivergent. And, with growing concern, she’s monitoring reports of a strange new virus rapidly spreading around the world. It’s smart, heartfelt and insightful, and — I almost hate to say it — I literally laughed and cried."
