   A beautifully written book, but emotionally draining. Vuong’s prose is stunning, though the narrative felt a bit fragmented at times. Still worth the read.

   Beautifully written but extremely depressing. It’s a powerful exploration of trauma, but be prepared for a heavy read. I needed a break after finishing this.

    I wanted to love it, but it felt overwritten in places. The story is powerful, but the style got in the way. Ultimately a good, but not great, read.
