Review: Joan Is Okay by Weike Wang

Review: Joan Is Okay by Weike Wang

Author: Weike WangPublisher: Random HouseReleased: January 18, 2022Received: NetGalley Joan Is Okay is the latest novel by Weike Wang, and as her Chemistry novel is still stuck in my mind, I wanted to give this one a go. It’s a contemporary fiction novel addressing complicated women. Joan is an ICU doctor in one of the busiest cities in the world – New York City. She’s struggling to define her…

Omg I think a media inspired mlist would be so fun!! And I’ll def add asteroid city to my list since I saw that it was on amazon prime as well ^^ I started Daisy Jones yesterday and OML BILLYY CAN GO TO HELL BUT IM SO GLAD THAT CAMILA STOOD UP FOR HERSELF EVEN THO BILLY DOESN’T DESERVE HER but like the current plot is making me look even more forward into seeing how ‘ode to you’ plays out! oh also if you have any book recs as well that would be amazing cause I’m trying to get back on that reading grind but the books that are popular/coming out these days aren’t really my style (or maybe I’m just not sure where to look TT) so if you’re an avid reader as well then I’d love a rec for those 😭💖 (also I wasn’t sure if I should’ve responded to your ask publicly or anything so I just sent you an ask back if that’s ok haha!) - floatingpluto :>

hi!! yes I actually just made one last night and it was so much fun to make and put together lol

I hope you like daisy Jones and the six!! And yes billy esp in the beginning is such an asshole. I think in the book he has a little bit more depth to the character that the show misses out on slightly but either way the things he put camilla through smh

as for book recs.. some of my all time favorite books are chemistry by weike wang, nothing to see here by kevin wilson, I’ll give you the sun by jandy nelson (YA), and fire and graceling by kristin cashore. all of those books I love love so much and reread all the time. some other recs (not sure what kind of genre or style you like so just spit balling here but) a thousand splendid suns by khaled hosseini, joy luck club by amy tan, children of blood and bone by tomi adeyami (YA fantasy, read it right before I wrote oasis (idk if you’ve read that piece) so there are some similarities between that world and the oasis world, I’m sure), and mexican gothic by silvia moreno garcia!!

im not as much as an avid reader as i once was but am trying to get back to it lol. but if you end up reading any of these def lemme know what you think!
