2022: Meh

I should have listened to Roxane Gay - her review mentioned that there wasn't enough plot in this book to keep her engaged, and I agree completely. I always crave more of a narrative, even in non-fiction, and this book just didn't do it for me. It wasn't *bad*, but I didn't really like it.

There was also a lot more elements of war in here than I was prepared for? Which I guess I really should not have been surprised by, considering the timeline and the characters being from Vietnam. But it's not really what I wanted to be reading as Russia is currently invading Ukraine.

I guess I should put in the caveat that I listened to this book, and I probably would have been more engaged if I had read a physical copy. But I just wasn't feeling it. The vibe was just extremely sad. And don't get me wrong, I love a good sad book! But this was a bad sad book....
