First short story book that really kept my attention and felt invested in, though it was probably because I am a Korean immigrant in the US and they were about being Korean immigrant in the US.

Favorite short story was Map of the Simplified World. Discussed parent expectations around life/school in a way I have never seen done before. So matter-of-fact.
