no doubt, I did like this book and I'm glad that this is my first time reading ocean vuong's work. I think I just need to come to terms with the fact that time skips can be a 50/50 experience for me in books where they either work for me or they don't (which in this case it partly did). despite this, i will love to continue to read his works as I really loved the writing.
