Memorial by Bryan Washington

4.5

it's almost like normal people but make it queer

a slice of life literary fiction is exactly my cup of tea!! memorial was written in a very unique style, with sometimes simple and distilled sentences that give away how turning emotions into thoughts and words can be super frustrating and challenging, leaving much room for reader's interpretation. i loved it to bits — the exploration of modern human relationships, how love shapes and reshapes and changes its forms so rapidly it's hard for people to keep up with, and the difficulties of communication, even with someone you know and love so dearly
