WHAT IS LOVE? BABY, DON’T BURDEN ME – FICTION

In ABRAHAM YU-YOUNG CHANG’s 888 Love and the Divine Burden of Numbers: A Novel, college student Young falls in love with the brilliant and charismatic Elena. But Young’s beloved uncle believes everyone gets just seven great loves in their life, and Elena is number six. Are they meant to be or fated for failure to make room for his final, seventh love? In JACKIE LAU’s Love, Lies, and Cherry Pie: A Novel, writer and barista Emily is tired of hearing her mother’ fixation on marrying her off, so faking a relationship to escape her meddling may be in order. And in SHIRLENE OBUOBI’s Between Friends & Lovers: A Novel, the dazzling Dr. Jojo is an Instagram favorite, but off-camera, her story’s more complicated. Just as a longtime unrequited crush on her best friend ends, Josephine meets a successful writer who can use her help. But in the age of social media, what you see might not be all you get.
