My Good Son by Yang Huang
2.0
reflective slow-paced

I almost DNF'd this one so many times, but something about the writing would keep me going, convinced it would get better. The subject matter (father-son relationships, unplanned pregnancies, queerness) all pointed to something I'd love, but I didn't warm up to it fully until about 60% through the audiobook. I liked the themes of forgiveness, mistakes made & owned up to, and second chances but ultimately a bit of a drag.
