How It All Blew Up

Average rating3.5
This might sound weird, but gay people might be genuinely more interesting than straight people. This book was also pitched to me as funny, but in actuality, it wasn't that funny. The first sentence is amusing, but otherwise, it's the characters' charisma and our protagonist Amir's emotional interiority that draws you in, and it's quite effective with it. I especially liked how we got the different perspectives of each family member toward the end. The nuance in the writing conveys well how personal this story is to the author.
