A review by cruelcircles
Each of Us a Desert by Mark Oshiro

4.0

The acknowledgments have me too emotional for an actual review of this. I just love Mark and I love their stories, I have so much deep respect to what this story means for them.

It wasn't so much for me, the message and the story. It's a coming-of-age story with emphasis on grief and discovering yourself and the people around you. It's beautiful and a great story, it's slow and about following a journey more than anything else. I think the importance of Xochitl's story varies on the person, but it's definitely a noteworthy one.

I don't know, this is rated high for my love of Mark and respect for their stories and the absolute love and emotion you can feel poured into this. But what to say about it is absolutely lost on me (but that's part of the charm, also).
