From a writer whose work has been called “breathtaking and dazzling” by Roxane Gay, this moving, illuminating, and multifaceted memoir explores, in a series of essays, the emotional scars we carry when dealing with mental and physical illnesses—reminiscent of The Collected Schizophrenias and An Unquiet Mind . In this stunning debut, Laura Lee weaves unforgettable and eye-opening essays on a variety of taboo topics. In “History of Scars” and “Aluminum’s Erosions,” Laura dives head-first into heavier themes revolving around intimacy, sexuality, trauma, mental illness, and the passage of time. In “Poetry of the World,” Laura shifts and addresses the grief she feels by being geographically distant from her mother whom, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s, is relocated to a nursing home in Korea. Through the vivid imagery of mountain climbing, cooking, studying writing, and growing up Korean American, Lee explores the legacy of trauma on a young queer child of immigrants as she reconciles the disparate pieces of existence that make her whole. By tapping into her own personal, emotional, and psychological struggles in these powerful and relatable essays, Lee encourages all of us to not be afraid to face our own hardships and inner truths.

It may have been one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, but you know what they say about first impressions, right? Well, I can guarantee that I made quite the impression that evening. (Don't worry; I’ll tell you all the gory details later.) Most days, she acts like she hates me — probably because I behave like an ass — but we both know the truth: Rainey O’Neil wants me just as much as I want her — she just doesn’t want to admit it.  Good thing I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge. *Deal Takers is the second installment in the Dealing with Love world but can be read as a standalone.

"I'M A VIRGIN, AND YOU NEED TO RELIEVE ME OF THAT." What respectable guy could say no to that? Yeah, she was my best friend. But she was also the hottest chick I had ever known.

I've spent the last five years without her and I refuse to waste another day. I have a solid plan. All of my figurative ducks are in a row.
