I.W. is a practicing surgeon by day, and a self-proclaimed “masked avenging YA writer” by night. During her residency at Stanford, I.W. met an intersex patient that inspired her debut novel, None of the Above, which was a finalist for the 2016 Lambda Literary Award, a Spring 2015 Publisher’s Weekly Flying Start, and other honors. Her latest work, This is My Brain in Love, is a stunning YA contemporary romance told in dual narrative, exploring mental health, race, and self-acceptance. Jocelyn Wu must spend her junior year trying to save her family’s restaurant. But because her dad has the marketing skill of a dumpling, it’s up to Jocelyn and her unlikely new employee, Will Domenici, to bring “A-Plus Chinese Garden” into the 21st century. What starts off as a rocky partnership soon grows into something more. But family prejudices threaten to keep Will and Jocelyn apart. It will take everything to save the family restaurant and their budding romance.
