Unglamored: Marketing Student’s Novel Sheds Light on Mental Health

At the beginning of the pandemic, many students saw the months of quarantine ahead and wondered how to fill that time at home. Jessie Cheng ’23 saw an opportunity rather than an obstacle: She decided to use her newfound surplus of free time to write. The result is her recently published novel Unglamored, which is not just a passion project but also a means to start a conversation about mental health and eating disorders—important subjects the author thinks students at BC could benefit from discussing.
