I don't know. I didn't really get the book.
It is definitely a coming of age story of a queer student in Taipei and their love stories.
Reading about their thoughts and the difficulties of being gay and gender-nonconform was ni ce and important. But it just wasn't really a coherent story for me. I wish this person was more than just miserable with/in relationships.
The crocodile metaphor was fun but also confusing at times. Eventually I think I liked it.
