While the style only worked for me some of the time, I loved the content and themes of this book. It's a "nothing much happens" book that focuses on tenderness, race, relationships, and loneliness (among others). The second person narration demands intimacy in all moments, which didn't always pair well with certain scenes. Certain parts felt somewhat overwritten, but I feel like the things I didn't like were due to personal preference.

Recommended if you enjoy Ocean Vuong. This book shares a soul with "on earth we're briefly gorgeous" (which I also had mixed feelings about). Also recommended if you want a short book that reads like modern poetry.
