Hi all. For school I need to find 200 page book (fiction or non fiction) that was written by an American author in the last 15 years. I really want it to be a queer book or a book that discusses narcotics. It can’t be a “beach read.” So I’m told. Thanks if anyone can think of anything pertaining to the restrictions!

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a 2019 novel by Vietnamese-American author Ocean Vuong. It’s a queer story that involves narcotic addiction. I think it’s heavy going for the beach, but I’m not an expert.
And if Vietnamese-American doesn’t qualify, that’s a pretty strong political statement right there.
