Sam Miller's The Art of Starving has been around since 2017, but I just heard of it recently and read it last month.
Some heavy themes but if you could handle Asher you can probably handle this.
And it's set in Hudson, which kept reminding me of all of the New York stories posted here, except it's weirder.
I found its treatment of teen body image and eating disorder issues was something far from my experience (especially on the eating side), but stuff that I know is important and that I want to understand.
Kind of like Life of Pi, at the end you have some decisions to make about what was real and what was dream, but also like Pi, it doesn't really matter very much.
