Fiona was always destined to leave, her effortless beauty burnished by fierce ambition--qualities that Jane admired and feared in equal measure. When Fiona moves to New York and cares for a sick friend through a breakup with an opportunistic boyfriend, Jane remains in California and grieves her estranged father's sudden death, in the process alienating an overzealous girlfriend. Strained by distance and unintended betrayals, the women float in and out of each other's lives, their friendship both a beacon of home and a reminder of all they've lost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn stories told in alternating voices, Jean Chen Ho's debut collection peels back the layers of female friendship--the intensity, resentment, and boundless love--to probe the beating hearts of young women coming to terms with themselves, and each other, in light of the insecurities and shame that holds them back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpanning countries and selves, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFiona and Jane\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an intimate portrait of a friendship, a deep dive into the universal perplexities of being young and alive, and a bracingly honest account of two Asian women who dare to stake a claim on joy in a changing, contemporary America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2022 BY\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTIME\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e*\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePARADE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e*\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eGOOD HOUSEKEEPING\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e*\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMARIE CLAIRE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e*\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTHE RUMPUS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e*\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDEBUTIFUL\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e* AND MORE!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A knockout of a book.\"\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e--\u003c\/i\u003eViet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sympathizer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Committed\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Unsentimental, subtly subversive, and always surprising. . . .
