I loved the writing in this! It went by a lot faster than I thought it would. The author manages to express complicated truths in only a sentence or a paragraph without those moments feeling out of place. It was hard to read at times because of some of the subject matter, but there is a sense of hope by the end. I really connected to the themes about sexuality and religion and complicated family relationships, but this book is about a lot of other things, like immigration and gentrification, that might connect with others who have different experience than me. I was really impressed with how thoughtfully and concisely the author dealt with all the topics and characters and will definitely read more from her in the future.
