A quote graphic that reads: “this is both a timely and a hard-hitting takedown of the beauty industry and a nuanced and sensitive look at the pressure on those who don’t fit traditional beauty norms to assimilate”—booklist starred review

Incredible and wild news that RAVISHING got a 2nd starred review! Thank you so much @ala-booklist.bsky.social!

The genocide continues.

One of my favorite things about writing is that I've gotten to read Eshani's works for years first as a short story writer and now as a novelist. Pre-order this one!

💗💗💗💗

Reminder that RAVISHING is available for preorder and if you DO preorder you can get a special sticker sheet designed by @shebani. You can also add the book on GR, tell your local library/indie, and share this post! TIA for supporting this brown, chronically ill writer.

Brown woman (me) smiling and holding up her book and LAKEWOOD by Megan Giddings. Text reads Megan’s blurb for RAVISHING: “Ravishing is an incredible accomplishment. Surya writes a heartfelt and engaged novel of ideas that examines familial love, friendship, and complicated relationships to our bodies. There’s so much to praise here, but nobody writes bodies—in sickness, in health, in love—with such empathy and care like Surya does. A brilliant debut.”

Quote card for the blurb reading “nobody writes bodies in sickness, in health, in love with such empathy and care like Surya does”

I absolutely loved @megiddings.bsky.social’s book LAKEWOOD and it hugely helped me figure out the way forward for writing BIPOC characters who are experiencing trauma due to strange products changing the body. This blurb means THE 🌎.

If you haven’t gone out and read Megan Giddings yet, go now!

Ooooh salivating
