Thank you so much to Abi and Lili for sending me an ARC! I have a lot of love for this book. I already think it's going to be one of my favourite reads of the year. It's just so candid, self-aware, and free of pretence. Also, I can't not mention that ...more |

| I didn't think this was very good but I finished it just because. The lack of plot couldn't be saved by any amount of precious (often corny) sentences. I understand Ocean Vuong's mother succumbed to illness not long after this came out, so it will no ...more | |

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
