Books We Can’t STFU About

Come with us while we cry and laugh (and mostly cry) about On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong. Which could alternatively be titled: THE SADDEST BOOK YOU'LL FIND AT THE BOOKSTORE.

The writing in this one is so poetic, that it forced us to dive into family trauma, the Vietnamese immigrant experience, and how the definition of masculinity in America is warped. Long story short, the world could be saved if we were all forced a heavy dose of empathy!
