This strange yet relatable story of identity and desire is narrated by Eunice Wong. Taiwanese American Vi is struggling with dropping out of college, a breakup, and working as a hotel receptionist when she finds a mysterious slime blob. Wong captures Vi's apathy and loneliness in her low voice. Smoothly switching between characters, Wong adds a tone of humor to her narration. When Vi impulsively takes the blob home and makes a pet of it, it grows and gains consciousness, becoming Bob, a handsome white man. At the same time, Vi struggles with her personal relationships and the marginalization that has defined them. Weird and heartfelt, this audiobook is an empathetic portrait of change.
