OCEAN VUONG!!!!!!!!! made me insane with this book. and i have to guess listening to the audiobook just added to the psychic damage because his prose is insanely impactful when he reads it himself. 

i swear sometimes his writing hit me so deep i’d have to pause and take several deep breaths just to be able to keep going. goddamn what a book.
