On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
by Ocean Vuong
I thought I would like this book a lot more than I actually did. I read many reviews talking of how sad it was, yet the broken flow meant moments that could have been sad weren’t. Although the writing was absolutely stunning and philosophical I felt the book lacked substance and detailed enough character development. The relationship between Trevor and Little Dog felt shallow at times and had room to be a heartbreaking narrative. I felt that the book focused too hard on trying to be an innovative writing style, that in the end the plot was ignored. I also disliked the changing between first person and third person. All in all I was disappointed.
