Joan Is Okay by Weike Wang

Community is such an important part of my life and what I want for my family. This book was a reminder that this is not the case for everybody and that’s okay. Joan is so herself even though it’s contrary to everyone’s expectations, especially her family. I read so much romance that I’m inclined to want the neighbors to get together, but this is not that book. I enjoyed reading a new perspective and a character who challenged me. Didn’t realize that the book ends with the beginning of Covid-19, which was challenging to read.

This book felt similar to Klune’s other books with misfit characters coming together in a dystopian or different kind of world. But the “robots have taken over” piece wasn’t really for me. Still a sweet story.
