Incredible writing and an incredible concept of writing to his mother who cannot read it. Some difficult and challenging themes meant I often had to take breaks reading this. Vuong has a way of describing deep, difficult and strong emotions in such a beautiful way.

Hear me out....! it's a really good book, this write is god gifted. The only thing I didn't like that much is LGBTQIA. Yes I no it's his own life story and I really didn't have any problem with writer . The thing is I don't support LGBTQIA but that doesn't mean I hate them. But yeah don't hesitate after seeing my review and highly recommend to read this book it will be really good thing to consume 🙂✨
