June‘s #poetry book, which fits weirdly well both with May‘s poetry book and with LITTLE MANILA IS IN THE HEART, which I‘m also reading.
pickThis was a five-star book right up until it lost momentum around 3/4 of the way through, & then I‘d call it a four, so, like, 4.5 ⭐️. Disagreed about almost everything the reviewer for #ToB2019 said about this layered, deeply sad, loving, messily & barely hopeful novel. Major queer rep all the way through, btw. And, well, a lot more (if quietly) about the US‘ responsibilities and horrors in the Philippines. #Pinoy #Filipina 🏳️🌈💪🏽
