Since Goodreads axed the category… what might the contenders list have looked like / who would you have picked?

My vote:

  • In Limbo, by Deb JJ Lee – Korean American coming-of-age; the art is what cinched the win for me

Others I would have liked to see in the Top 20:

  • A First Time for Everything, by Dan Santat – Just won the National Book Award last night! Coming-of-age memoir of the author’s school trip to Europe
  • Hungry Ghost, by Victoria Ying – overcoming an ED, discovering self-love
  • Monstrous: A Transracial Adoption Story, by Sarah Myer
  • TheDaneOf5683@alien.topB

    For me so far, I’m rather tied on either:

    • Shubeik Lubeik by Deena Mohamed
    • River’s Edge by Kyoko Okazaki

    They’re both superlative works and we’re lucky to have them.
