Fetishized, a reckoning with yellow fever, feminism, and beauty is a new book from Kyla Yu.

Former pen-up model and lead singer of Nylon Pink turned journalist. In this deeply personal memoir and essays, U reckons with being an object of Asian fetishism, and how media, pop culture, and colonialism contribute to the over-sexualization of Asian women.

Raw and intimate, fetishized is a personal journey of self-love and healing. It's both a searing

indictment of the violence of objectification and a tender exploration of the broken relationship

so many of us have with beauty, desire, and our own bodies.

If you're a fan of books about Asian American identity, like crying in H-Mart, or coming-of-age

stories like somebody's daughter, be sure to pick up fetishized, available wherever books are sold.

Do you ever get hit with a cringy memory of your 13-year-old self out of nowhere? And suddenly you're panic, sweating and laughing at the same time. Don't worry, don't worry, we all get that. It's because being an adolescent is one of the most visceral shared experiences we have as people. And we want to talk about it. Join me, Penn Badgley, and my two friends, Nava and Sophie, on Podcrushed as we interview celebrity guests about the joys and horrors of being a teenager and how those moments made them who they are today.

New episodes of Podcrush are out now, wherever you get your podcasts.
