Funny, touching, gay af. Need I say more?

Edit (8/3/21): I'll say more. If you don't laugh and cry at least once while you read this, I have failed as an author.

Edit (12/20/21): I should have this book memorized by now. But it still makes me emotional

Aaron Aceves and 3 other people liked Chris's review of The Great Gatsby:
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
"I had low expectations of this book, but it I found the writing to be so compelling and the story to be so intriguing and heart breaking. It's short and snappy and full of sadness and longing and I flew through it in an evening. Great stuff!"

Quotes by Aaron H. Aceves  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Why is the world like this? How is the world like this? How is it that humans have created a society that allows a child to come to the conclusion that they would be better off dead than alive because they like the same sex?”
Aaron H. Aceves, This Is Why They Hate Us

“Our minds are truly the one place where no one else can follow us. Even if we try, if we constantly express every thought that comes to mind, if we exist as a walking stream of consciousness, we won’t be able to convey everything that’s going on. There are emotions and feelings and sensations that we’d never be able to articulate.”
Aaron H. Aceves, This Is Why They Hate Us

“People are exhausting. Sure, they can be fun sometimes; they can “open you up to new experiences” or whatever. But the anxiety leading up to spending time with them and the emotional drain afterward make them not worth it.”
Aaron H. Aceves, This Is Why They Hate Us

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“Some parents pin all their hopes and dreams on their children, and as a result, those kids feel all kinds of pressure to be some sort of familial savior destined to achieve greatness and keep their extended family from drowning.”
