I LOVE QUEER MEDIA! Something about this book—as an asian bisexual, myself—made me feel more comfortable with my sexuality. It also made me uncomfortable as there were some unsettling scenes present in the novel. But, regardless, queer books have that ? spice that straight novels don’t. No straight book can make me so comfortable and unsettled at the same time. No straight book can make me relate to feeling afraid of being the person I was because of society’s cruelty towards non-white homosexuals. And no straight novel could make me so attached to a character—to relate to a character so badly—the way a queer one could (specifically, this queer novel.)
