maybe its because I was going through similiar things as the characters in the book but i could not put this book down. i bawled my eyes out at work when i finished it.

This one isnt that long but it took me months because some of the grief and experiences he writes about are so raw and his writing would leave me so breathless I would have to keep taking breaks and have to set the book down for a few days. Never read anything so heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.

It has a romantic storyline, but is mostly an epistolary, coming-of-age novel that, to me, is the most ethereally beautiful book I've ever read. His words are delicate and light enough to float off the page, yet they carry a depth of emotion that lingers long after the final letter is read.

You can tell a poet wrote this novel. You will cry but you will be transformed. The novel begins with the narrator addressing his mother who cannot even read English, saying something like, “I am writing this to reach you, even if every letter is a step further away from you.” The relationship between immigrant mother and first-generation child in this novel is done so well and made me love and forgive my mother more.

I’m making the kind of deals diplomats can only dream of on this goddamn game. They need to hire me at the UN to negotiate US-N Korea relations the way I’m bargaining between kpop and hiphop fandoms.
Game is called Soundmap. Add me as a friend! 🗣️
