Finished reading “Sea Change” and loved it. It was a nice amalgamation of grief, love, and closure in Ro’s life. Add in a connection to an octopus, along with snippets of a Korean American family dynamic gives a creative read with depth & nuance for anyone who has ever felt lost or uncertain.

Constructed languages are amazing--I did some study of them in a seminar class last semester about Cosmopolitanism.

A book we read that might interest you is "Scattered All Over the Earth' by Yōko Tawada. It's a dystopia that talks a lot about what happens to language and culture when countries no longer exist, including a fictional constructed language called "Panska"

This was my very first . It did NOT disappoint.
One girl can’t keep a girlfriend while another can’t get the confidence to try. They team up to help one another and a whole lot of shenanigans happen.
This dual POV book isn’t just a cute romance. It touches on heavy subjects like addiction, cultural shame due to white supremacy, and identity outside of one’s family.
LOVE that the authors are an IRL couple!
