“….You don’t let your friends control you like that. It really got me good because her mother was this perfect image of Asian mother, like so on point but when she said those words, I was really touched. There was even one part that really moved me when her mother said something about Jess being lesbian. Nothing extra special with it BUT the author did did justice of the POC representation through Jess’s family. There were representation of POC and LGBTQ+. She ties me up inside, and only she can undo me.” It feels so good, but at the same time, she put the knot there. “The tone of her voice makes me ache, as if she were rubbing out a knot in my neck.
