For Penny Lee high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn't actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it's 79 miles and a zillion light-years away from everything she can't wait to leave behind.

Jayne and June Baek are nothing alike. June’s three years older, a classic first-born, know-it-all narc with a problematic finance job and an equally soulless apartment (according to Jayne). Jayne is an emotionally stunted, self-obsessed basket case who lives in squalor, has egregious taste in men, and needs to get to class and stop wasting Mom and Dad’s money (if you ask June). Once thick as thieves, these sisters who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York together now don’t want anything to do with each other. That is, until June gets cancer.

On paper, college dropout Pablo Rind doesn’t have a whole lot going for him. His graveyard shift at a 24-hour deli in Brooklyn is a struggle. Plus, he’s up to his eyeballs in credit card debt. Pop juggernaut Leanna Smart has enough social media followers to populate whole continents. The brand is unstoppable. Her life is a queasy blur of private planes, step-and-repeats, aspirational hotel rooms, and strangers screaming for her just to notice them. When Leanna and Pablo meet at 5:00 a.m. at the bodega in the dead of winter it’s absurd to think they’d be A Thing.

Después de dejar la universidad, Pablo Neruda Rind no tiene mucho a su favor. Su trabajo nocturno como empleado en una tienda en Brooklyn es una pesadilla y está condenado a pagar una deuda estudiantil devastadora.

Penny: terminó la preparatoria y encuentra que su paso por ella fue irrelevante. Tenía amigos, sus calificaciones eran buenas y tuvo un novio, pero esa relación no significó gran cosa. Ahora se va a la universidad para estudiar literatura y convertirse en escritora. Está a ciento once kilómetros y millones de años luz de todo lo que le urge dejar atrás.

My Korean Mom is a bittersweet love letter from Mary H. K. Choi to her mother that hopes to convey the frustration, shame, loyalty, and searing adoration that's part and parcel of being the kid of an immigrant. It's not as if she could tell her mother to her face how much she loves her. That's just not how it's done.

Everybody sexts, right? Or at least that's what the Internet would have you believe. In Dick Pic, Mary H. K. Choi humorously dissects the intentions behind such flagrant oversharing and chronicles the one time a dick pic wasn't just a dick pic but a dick pic so virile and portentous that it had a 50 percent probability of actually making another dick - a sonogram from an ex.

What if there was a secret world where people - among them US soldiers and Silicon Valley wunderkinds - were making themselves smarter? Their reaction times, aptitude for language, problem-solving skills, and marksmanship are all improving, under the watchful eye of scientists and DARPA (the defense advanced research projects agency). Such are the claims of transcranial direct current stimulation - also known as TDCS.

It's the age-old 30-something's dilemma: If you did ecstasy in the '90s, does it mean you've done Molly? Dragging her raver ass out of retirement to revisit her teenaged party days, Mary H.K. Choi throws herself into the belly of the EDM beast to see if there's anything to this Molly business. And to find out if doing recreational drugs as a bored adult is the key to staying young or if this is the worst, most embarrassing and irresponsible idea ever.

Fresh out of college, Mary H.K. Choi booked a one-way ticket to New York City and never looked back. Twelve years and countless jobs and dates and a bajillion dollars in rent later, she'd finally had enough. In Oh, Never Mind, Choi chronicles her decision to let go of New York by looking back at the hilarious and often brutal life lessons the city taught her - about love, money, friendship, and, above all, herself.

Eles mal se conhecem. São apenas dois jovens trocando mensagens de texto. Mas cada palavra vai mudar suas vidas para sempre Essa é a história de Penny e Sam.

Dos hermanas que no se soportan, pero que harán lo que sea por salvarse mutuamente. Jayne y June Baek no se parecen en nada. June es la primogénita, una sabelotodo con un demandante trabajo y un departamento igual de frío que ella (según Jayne). Por otro lado, Jayne es un manojo de nervios narcisista con mal gusto para elegir a sus novios y (si le preguntas a June) necesita dejar de gastarse el dinero de sus padres. Antes eran inseparables; ahora no quieren relacionarse para nada. Pero cuando a June le diagnostican cáncer, la única que puede ayudarla es Jayne.
