Some mixed feelings on this one.

Firstly, I loved the content/story, message, and purpose behind writing the memoir. I learned a lot and definitely know people in my life that I would highly recommend this book to.

Where it felt short for me: I feel like this read more like an extended essay rather than a memoir. Many life events were quite compressed in places I would have wanted to know more. I really enjoy confessional art, so being kept at arm's length by the narrator when it came to their inner world didn't resonate with me.

Recommended if you're interested in the intersection of race and sexuality as well as reflections on family and immigration.
