5.0
The writing is beautifully written and insightful, exploring important themes such as friendships, mental health, and racial identity. The essays were deeply personal and I could feel her emotions through the paper.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and although I could not relate to her experiences, I loved the narrative, rich with history and ideas.

I don’t want to end this review on a negative note, because I still found that there were things to take away from this essay collection. For one, I truly appreciate the unflinching criticisms of US imperialism and capitalism. I don’t think US imperialism is talked about enough, as well as their roles in shaping Asian politics during the twentieth century (and to this day, frankly). In addition, her term “minor feelings” is one that I felt was strongly explored in “Stand Up.” I also thought her take on Stockton’s the queer child’s “growing sideways” to be a fascinating one, instead to consider the ways she looked sideways in “The End of White Innocence.” This ended up being my favorite essay, and what I felt was her strongest, in conveying nuance and care that seemed to be missing in many other parts of the book.
