Jenna Bush Hager describes her May 2024 Read With Jenna pick as a book “you’re going to open and fall madly in love with.” “Real Americans” by Rachel Khong is the club’s May selection, and follows three generations of the Chen family and the many places the years take them — from Beijing to New York City, then to a small town in the Pacific Northwest and San Francisco. “It’s set in 2000, right when Y2K was happening, and it starts as a love story,” Jenna says.
” Khong says she began writing what would become “Real Americans” in December 2017, thinking it would be a short story about the character Lily. “Then it kept accumulating things. It sort of snowballed and kept acquiring these questions and these themes,” she describes. More “lightbulb moments” occurred over the next several years, and Khong began piecing together the story, the additional characters and their backstories. “A lot of these characters, they’re not how they appear,” Khong says.
