On this episode we discuss the Books & Boba Book Club pick for June 2017, None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio. A YA novel about a homecoming queen who finds out that she was born intersex, and what happens when her secret is leaked to her entire school. It's a story of coming to terms with one's identity, dealing with bullying, and the importance of support in times of crisis.

For additional thoughts and discussion on the monthly pick, visit the Books & Boba Goodreads forums.

Mentioned in this episode:

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
