This is probably my sign to get therapy, but thank you, Ocean Vuong.
In all seriousness, this was such an amazing read, and even if Vuong specializes in poetry, the way he wrote this novel just makes words come to life and translates really well in long-form. I don't know if I'll ever find a book that has touched me the way Vuong reached straight into my heart and squeezed it the way this book did. Absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone.
