*please check tigger warnings before reading* this read was very hard to get through since it dealt with very really and heartbreaking topics but I loved it. Especially the authors note at the end. Also please be gentle with yourself while reading this book, it’s important but not more important than your mental health.

The last hour (roughly 1/10) took me so long to read because I could only listen to a few moments at a time. It is so emotionally heavy to read. Give yourself time and space for this book.

This is such an important story, and it is told and wirtten in such a vulnerable and incredible way. It is a story that doens't only need to be told, it needs to be read, heard and understood. Tahnk you, Kelly Yang for not only writing it but also for choosing to share your personal story.
