On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

By Ocean Vuong
Fiction
242 pages
So. 
This is one of those rare books that I didn't finish. 

It sounded good. 

It had good reviews. 

It had an interesting opening.

But I stopped right here. On page 94. 
I didn't care about any of the characters. There was no plot line that I could discern, just a series of character sketches and disconnected scenes. 

So, yeah. My book club picked it, and I was curious what they thought of it, but in the end I didn't even get to go the meeting because I had a PhD conflict. 

Maybe I'll like the next pick more.
