maybe i'm biased because a second-gen immigrant of color with depression but i love this book sm, man. it explores issues i struggle with irl: depression, body-insecurity, being poc, not being sure how to interact with family. also he's lowkey queer so. slay. (also, for fellow indians, the author did a thing with jasmines & it did get me teary-eyed for a sec.)
