jessiepope 's review for:

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

---

i actually feel so bad about not finishing this because i know so many people love it but honestly i am not in the right mindset to read this. it is not enjoyable for me to read, and i can not stand how every single sentence a new metaphor is introduced. i am stressed enough in my personal life, i do not need to be this confused when i'm just trying to enjoy myself.
