This book is poetry page to page. Every word is deliberately chosen to make you feel something special. You could open to page and be able to quote something that you can apply to your life. The son and mother relationship in this book is truly beautiful and inspiring. It’s comforting but it also challenges your emotions. Truly a work of art.

im glad i finally read this!! there are so many lines i found very beautiful.  i found myself prematurely flinching when the author mentions his first love, as queer love (especially for people of color) seemingly always ends in heartbreak and trauma.  this book was good, but i wish i was in a different state of mind.  will probably reread sometime soon.
