It was a privilege to be able to read this book, to exist at the same time as Ocean Vuong. Within the first twenty pages, I already knew this was my new favourite novel of all time. Each word was incredibly purposeful. I felt like my heartstrings were constantly being pulled by the words I was reading. Ocean Vuong- you are a soulful genius
