Chick Habit by Nuanzhi Zheng (9th June)
"I think the ultimate rebellion is just not being a model minority. Saying fuck it, and being nothing instead. Who gives a shit about generational sacrifice. My mum gave up all her dreams to have me, and I failed all her dreams she passed onto me."

Olivia, a small-town nobody, seeks justice after her high school punk-band-turned-whisperpop-duo receives international acclaim for stealing her songs. Oh, and she's also being haunted by the ghost of her dead mother.

"What is light without the dark. What is suffering without love? What is yearning without comfort? And what is death without life?"

When a grieving family’s naiive and willful daughter loses their only source of income, she consorts with a wily demon to support her unknowing mother.
