On Fragile Waves by E. Lily Yu

5.0

On Fragile Waves by E. Lily Yu was not a book I wanted to read. 2020 was already filled with hardness and tragedy, and I wanted to escape to fiction that was easy, fun, and light. But in November, I found myself craving poetry, and I was familiar with Yu through her short stories, particularly the gorgeous “The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees.” When I saw the book cover of On Fragile Waves, I decided to give it a chance.

As I expected, Yu’s debut book was beautiful and utterly devastating.
