I think I have it now. Books tagged in the comments.

Vi has stalled in life, working a humdrum job after dropping out of college. Then she finds an odd blob and discovers it‘s sentient. Then it starts to shift. On the surface, this is a quirky story about an eccentric woman, but really it‘s about the choices we make, societal/familial expectations, and how the disconnect between those can derail us. I liked this. #TOB26 #TOBlonglist

I‘m not a huge fan of Smith (I‘ve tried the seasonal quartet and just didn‘t get it) but this is on the #ToBlonglist and was on audio at the library and it‘s short! 😜
It‘s set in a very near dystopian future as two siblings try to find their way. I ended up quite liking it - not sure what was going on at some points but I appreciated the wordplay and plays on words.
I liked it enough to try the companion book when it comes out next year.
