This month's Book Club pick is Rachel Khong's Real Americans, an exhilarating novel that spans three generations in one family, and asks: What makes us who we are? And how inevitable are our futures?.

Here's a snippet about the book:

Real Americans begins on the precipice of Y2K in New York City, when twenty-two-year-old Lily Chen, an unpaid intern at a slick media company, meets Matthew. Matthew is everything Lily is not: easygoing and effortlessly attractive, a native East Coaster, and, most notably, heir to a vast pharmaceutical empire. Lily couldn’t be more different: flat-broke, raised in Tampa, the only child of scientists who fled Mao’s Cultural Revolution. Despite all this, Lily and Matthew fall in love.

Will crossing the threshold change her fate?
