i expected to read a story solely about little dog's relationship with his mom and his grandmother, but was kind of sad to find out that it wasnt the main focus of this book. though i still enjoyed it (the story is written in such beautiful prose), i wanted to read more about his familial relationships and ties to vietnam (i felt like a lot of parts that included his mom got glossed over a bit too often). regardless, there are parts that i still find myself tearing up to when i read it. ocean vuong writes with a sorrow so deep and eminent its hard to tear yourself away.

I can't express how beautiful the writing was, Ocean Vuong is an extraordinary writer and I'll definitely be reading his poetry.
I haven't given this a rating because I have too many conflicting thoughts/opinions about this book, but it was amazing.
