The only one I’ve ever read was The Reluctant Fundamentalist and it was so good! The perspective was used to make brilliant plot reveals and really analyse character.

Human Acts: A Novel by Han Kang opens with a second person section. It’s the best second person pov I”ve read. I never thought 2nd person could work that well.
— warning. It’s brutal and based on real events from the democratic uprising in S. Korea in 1989.
Picked this up this weekend because the note at the bookstore said it was one of the few that did 2nd person well. I haven’t done much other than put it on my immediate to read book pile so I don’t even know what it’s about.

Every other chapter is second person. It’s quite a trippy book.

The Fifth Season. But only one of the three arcs.
