I loved this debut of short stories: Home Remedies by Xuan Juliana Wang



Home Remedies by Xuan Juliana Wang (releasing 5/14/19 from @hogarthbooks)
**I was given an advanced copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review**

Summary
In twelve stunning stories of love, family, and identity, Xuan Juliana Wang’s debut collection captures the unheard voices of an emerging generation. Wang’s unforgettable characters – with their unusual careers, unconventional sex lives and fantastical technologies – share the bold hope that, no matter where they’ve come from, their lives too can be extraordinary.


My review
Let me cut to the chase...I've added Wang to my "auto-buy" authors list. If this is her debut, I can only imagine what else is to come...and I'm excited for it! Her ability to create layers of depth in each short story and characters who are complex, ambitious, and achingly unsure of themselves had me tearing through this entire collection in a single morning.
