"Roz and Vin can't look each other in the eyes anymore, let alone share a bed. It's been a year since they survived a life-altering accident, and their marriage hasn't been the same. But Roz has held out hope that they can fix things, until she discovers Vin has signed a new lease. So she does what any soon-to-be-divorced Manhattanite would do: sign up for a figure-drawing class. Between Roz's determined attempts to improve her artistic skills and her adventures with her best friend, Raffi, she can almost ignore Vin's impending move-out date and his footsteps in their previously unoccupied guest room. But it would all be a lot easier if Vin wasn't Raffi's older brother, and if she didn't still find him incredibly, debilitatingly attractive and kind. So kind, in fact, that Vin offers to let Roz draw him. What is she supposed to say? It's probably better than her original plan of finding some random male model online, and she needs all the practice she can get. Plus, that's sure to make a separation easier, right? Focus on every detail of your estranged spouse's body while drawing him in the nude? But after the year they've spent avoiding each other, it feels good to see and be seen by one another again. As Roz works to capture the wholeness of the person she fell in love with, will they both be able to draw upon the feelings they buried deep inside to finally heal together?" --

"Diana, Justin, Vivian, and Errol have been friends for as long as they can remember. They worked hard and went to good schools, but rather than finding post-grad dream jobs, they've reunited while moving back into their childhood bedrooms. A year out of college, they are still job-hunting in the shadow of the early aughts recession. The four of them could not be more different, but together, away from the watchful, gossiping eyes of their parents, they can be their true selves. When their frenemy, Grace, returns to North Potomac after dropping out of Harvard Law School to pursue documentary filmmaking, the group sees little harm in allowing her to tape them hanging out for a short film. Thinking their comments would never see the light of day, the quartet openly shares their opinions, mouthing off about parental pressures and revealing intimate truths. None of them expect Grace's video to amount to anything-how many people even watch YouTube, anyways? When the video goes viral (2 million views and counting), propelling Grace into filmmaking stardom, the rest of the "Bad Asians" are forced to grapple with the not-so-flattering caricatures of themselves captured in her documentary. Overnight, they are recognized on the street, constantly asked for selfies, and worse, ripped apart in the comments. Worse still, the video's notoriety and a desperate attempt at spin control push the crew even further away from building the lives they each desire. As they grow up and grow apart, the group of friends tries again and again to figure out who they are outside of one another. In Bad Asians, Lillian Li offers a thoughtful and engrossing exploration of Asian-American identity, childhood friendship, and the early days of navigating missteps in full view of the world. Li's tale also captures how youth and ambition offer no guarantees, and while sometimes friends drift away from each other to find themselves, if you're lucky, they come back"-- Provided by publisher
