I'm glad I didn't give up on this. I'll keep thinking about this memoir forever.
You'll like this is you appreciate memoirs, are in a mentally good place with darker content in real-life context, Asian American stories, LGBTQIA+ perspectives.

livs_getting_bookish's review against another edition
There were also multiple times throughout the book where it went graphically described an animals death or suffering, which each time the author did this it was relevant to the plot but I just can't handle in depth descriptions of animal suffering/abuse/death.
Graphic: Drug abuse and Drug use
Moderate: Animal death

I didn't know much of what this was about before picking it up, only that it was beautifully written, but reader beware. Read the trigger warnings as there are many and some passages were hard to read.
