Let's move on to round two.

So this next round, we're doing our favorite discovered books.

It doesn't matter what year this came out in.

The only rule is that you read it in 2025.

Ramya, your turn.

Easy pick.

I find fiction is better at explaining tricky concepts like survivor's guilt than it would be in like a nonfiction, for example.

In a way, it feels more emotionally true when it's told in a story form than in a textbook form like in nonfiction.

It can be just as much about the author than it is about the reader themselves and how they interpret it.

Yeah.

Well, Amrit, if I recall from this book, one of the things that kind of triggered a lot of the action is that she was accidentally granted permission on her work account to see everybody in the company's emails.

Exactly.

Imagine that.

Imagine that, being in your company, being able to read everybody's emails, the gossip, the drama.

This book delivers you.

Yeah.

And fantastic narration, if I'm remembering correctly.

With the fantastic Persian accents, too.

Yes, yes.

Yeah, that was I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Hsu.
