On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

 and thus my 4 star streak continues!

what can i saw that won't embarrass me and my writing in comparison to ocean vuong's beautiful lyrical prose. Absolutely (forever and not briefly) Gorgeous™️

i'm sure some things flew over my head, as my “blue-curtaining” capacities are not the best. But here's two of my favorite quotes from this book:

“l got what I wanted–a boy swimming toward me. Except I was no shore, Ma. I was driftwood trying to remember what l had broken from to get here.” - page 108

“A page, turning, is a wing lifted with no twin, and therefore no flight. And yet we are moved.” - page 190

Breathtaking. Even the acknowledgments were a joy to read!

I mean yeah maybe sometimes it was too abstract for my taste but that is ON ME and I really enjoyed my time nonetheless. Did not expect to learn so much about Tiger Woods.
