Blob (2025)
Maggie Su
"'In Blob: A Love Story, Su's prose breathes magic, humor, and empathy into everything it touches. This meditation on change (and the weird, startling, and even otherworldly ways it can manifest) plunges the reader into the can't-look-away mess of the narrator, Vi's quarter life crisis as she navigates encounters with heartbreak, self-evolution, and alien lifeforms. You'll want to read this in one sitting, but try to savor it: there are gems of laughter and insight to be unearthed on every page."
