I really expected to love this one but I just could not get into the writing style at all. Maybe part of it was that I listened to the audiobook rather than reading the physical copy. I can fully recognize that Vuong has a lot of talent though and I’d love to read some of his poetry someday!

this is some of the best writing i’ve ever read, so i can’t tell you why it’s not a 5 star book for me.
