I had to dnf at least three books before being able to find this masterpiece. What makes this story different from the first three that I tried to read is its narration (vivid descriptions and perfectly written prose.)
"Art worked best when you were uncomfortably honest. When what you said would ruffle some feathers." Exactly. The way this fictional story addresses various non-fictional issues piqued my interest. I admire artists and/or writers who are using their platforms to creatively express their stance. Brave are those who are not afraid to let the whole world see their creative works in its rawest form. This book courageously talks about queerness, colonization, loss of cultural identity and the hypocrisy of human beings. It explores the complexity of love and the things you are willing to compromise in the name of it.
My whole being is scattered in every bits and pieces of each character in this book. Their flaws, imperfections and dark sides make them all the more relatable.
Allured by its short chapters, I just want to keep on reading, but college (sinabayan pa ng midterms exams) being the worst villain ever forbade me to do so.
