Vuong’s prose is impeccable. It conveys unfathomable depth of thought while appeasing the eye and the mind. Many times I found myself rereading a line, perhaps two, unable to grasp its meaning initially. Words lie on a page, but meaning only develops in the mind with time. I loved this book as it challenged me so. A sharp juxtaposition from the life I have experienced, the nature of Little Dog’s existence is brutally blunt when conveyed.

 love this one. the sadness and sorrow and heartbreak got to me. the development of little dog, the complications of communicating with his mother was certainly touching - did get very very confused at the family member connections, maybe bc i read too fast and tend to skim over many details lol. i just ..... it really resonated with me and i'm thankful to have read this. definitely gonna reread to properly absorb the story once more.
trevor's death made me so sad
