Boring Asian Female
“Thank you for your interest in our school, but we regret to inform you that…” you’re not special. You’re too average. You’re too boring.
Well, in that case, she’ll have to show them just how interesting she can be.
Layered and subversive, this novel brings to light how, in the face of societal expectations and self-inflicted pressures, a person can unlock the darkest parts of themselves and show how far they’re willing to go to achieve their vision of success.

Praise for Boring Asian Female
“Xu's zippy novel goes deeper than LSAT scores… What begins as gentle Instagram sleuthing becomes something darker over the course of this tale, which raises important questions while it entertains.”
— The New York Times
“[Boring Asian Female] is biting and uneasy, with flashes of humor that catch you off guard. You laugh, then immediately question why.”
— The Seattle Times
“Ambition loosens a second-generation Chinese American's grip on reality in Xu's gleefully unhinged debut… This darkly funny descent into madness is certain to make a splash.”
— Publishers Weekly
