Listened to the audiobook of this - and the narrator did an amazing job of capturing the unhinged behavior of the main character. I found its themes to be similar to Disorientation. It sparks an interesting discussion about voices of AAPI and POC, specifically in the literary realm.
Graphic: Death, Cultural appropriation, and Toxic friendship
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Racism, Gaslighting, and Colonisation
