While purely unintentional, I'm glad this book was on one of the landmark numbers. I didn't even realize that until after the review was posted. Hey everyone, this is my 250th book review on Goodreads!!! Reading books by asian authors for aapi month!īook 20: is everyone hanging out without me? and other concernsīook 22: when the tiger came down the mountain This meeting of the nghi vo fan club begins now This is a very fun story, but to me, it lacked the complexity, poeticism, and thematic richness of the first one.īottom line: maybe clichés don't exist for a reason. So here i am, rereading it an unprecedented 2 months after my first read, and i'm ready to say i'm not taking the fall on this one. it didn't hit the same as the first one and i was all, my bad, y'all.
When i first read this, i listened to it as an audiobook on a bad brain day (which is my cutesy term for a mental health emergency). but i can't wait to see what stories our cleric experiences next!īlog | Instagram | Youtube | Ko-fi | Spotify | Twitch nghi vo is actually out of her mind for these novellas, and i am blown away way passed the point of coherent words. truly unforgettable, and the layers and depth to it all is so expertly done. and how those stories get distorted over time when others write them down, sometimes trying to make them fit in boxes they never belonged in.Īnd if you all are looking for sapphic yearning, and angst, and one liners that you will physically feel in your heart and soul, i recommend this story with everything. not only a love letter to love, but a love letter to stories being told through generations and the power of stories being audibly passed down. Oh, this was a complete and utter masterpiece. “When you love a thing too much, it is a special kind of pain to show it to others and to see that it is lacking.”
