This novel sucked me in and read it all in almost one sitting- the story oscillates between the linear current-ish day/time of our protagonist with sudden and sharp memories of her past - ranging from sex and pain to beautiful still moments of childhood. A beautiful story that captured the feeling of in-between as the queer child of immigrants.
