Future Feeling
by Joss Lake
Joss Lake's Future Feeling invites you into a world where the everyday rubs shoulders with the magically strange, all through the eyes of a group of trans friends navigating their lives in New York City. At its heart, this is a story about identity in flux, both online and off, and the often-fraught journey of self-discovery. It's an emotional and deeply introspective read, marked by a complex, almost dreamlike atmosphere that keeps you slightly off-kilter. The narrative unfolds with a deliberate pace, allowing you to settle into its unique blend of sharp social commentary and subtle magical realism. This book is for readers who appreciate an unconventional story that grapples with what it means to belong, to be seen, and to define yourself in a world that doesn't always understand. It's thought-provoking and wonderfully weird.
