The narration and storytelling are truly exceptional. As a queer Vietnamese person who has recently experienced loss, this book brought a sense of healing I didn't know I needed. Hearing my culture and language woven into the narrative was deeply moving. For those who understand Vietnamese, the use of the language adds an authentic layer of connection, enriching the story without feeling like a gimmick.

This story is one tragedy after another. Just when you think it’s reached its peak, a twist comes that completely wrecks you. I’m talking Uncle Iroh singing to mourn his dead son, the hide and seek scene from Anohana type ugly crying.. IYKYK

I cannot say enough great things about this book. I finished it in one sitting because I could not stop the audio book.

Definitely something a kid in similar shoes needs! Whether it’s being bullied for being queer, Asian or anything else. It’s a story that makes you cheer for the underdog but understand that people are multifaceted and even the bully has more to their story. I stumbled across this book on an instagram ad and so glad I did. Literally binged the whole audiobook in 1 sitting.

Stories like this, with REAL representation MATTER. We NEED more stories like this.

Did I enjoy the story? Yes
Did I enjoy the audiobook? Yes
Did I enjoy the plot progression? Yes

But uhh the author really made it a point to include POC being “racist” to white people because the color of their skin… kinda tone death if you ask me…

This book is so sweet and gives me so much hope for a distant future I’d love to see in America. A queer biracial American and I’d hope something this amazing could ever happen haha.

Such a great queer love story 10/10
