On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
4.0
They say nothing lasts forever but they're just scared it will last longer than they can love it.
Haunting, poignant writing. I listened to the author read his story, and I think that helped me stay engaged with this, at times, very painful story. If you have read Vuong's poetry, his writing will be very familiar. This felt more like poetry than it did a novel, and that is not a negative statement... the writing was just so beautiful.
