On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Vuong's writing is literally one of the most beautiful prose I have ever had the opportunity to read. This, paired with the stream of consciousness and poetry throughout the book does a GORGEOUS (pun intended) job of creating a sense of rawness in Little Dog's narration. The emotions in this novel; love, betrayal, anger, loss, and more feel SO real. I felt myself tearing up more than I care to admit throughout the book. The ONLY big negative was that I felt like the writing style was a bit confusing. There were definitely points where I had to re read sections just to understand what was happening. To be honest, though, I think often the author did this on purpose. I could literally write another 5 pages about this book, but I won't bore you too much. A must-read!
