i think it’s necessary to mention that you should def check trigger warnings especially for the last chunk of the book, especially for the rape scene.
edit: it’s interesting because it’s more on the aftermath of the vietnam war from the perspective of someone not quite vietnamese but also certainly not american
edit again: forgot to mention, it is so sexist.
