I enjoyed this! I think it was in a reel for people who like weird/absurd books and the other books that were included were things I'd read and enjoyed. 

The book got me in the first pages as the husband speaks in $$$$ phrases, literally his dialogue is in the language of $ like, "He said, $$$$$, and then he looked away saying, $$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to which I replied you're being ridiculous, you know how I feel about that." The chapters seemed vaguely related but not an exact timeline of any character arc. We felt the writer's Asian mothering through many of the chapters and her competition with her Asian peers, being pitted against each other by their mothers in many of the chapters. I enjoyed the essay about the drug G. Many of the chapters felt unsettling but I trusted the narrator to ferry me through the choppy waves. I'd def pick up another book by Ling Ma.
