rynstagram's review against another edition
3.5
The reason for my star rating is because the metaphors and language are all great, but there were some details that were a bit jarring because they felt like they needed a backstory. It was easy to tell that some stories had been cut when a name or fact about Phuc's life is briefly mentioned in a different story with the assumption that the reader knows about it. Also, it took me a little while to get into.
This is one of those slower paced books that needs to be that way. It's incredibly honest and vulnerable while also being funny and well-written. His story has very little in common with mine, but the way he tells it makes you feel what he's feeling in that moment. He proves his point that literature can connect people.
