A book that I recently read was called Stars. The book was about a daily life of a person. His name is Koon Ray in Vietnamese. I don’t know his English name unfortunately. I didn’t read it much. But he had a pretty rough start I guess. It might sound very harsh from what I’m saying but the book describes him as a sole loser. He didn’t have anything. He didn’t have much to work with. He was broke. His family didn’t love him. A lot of things. A lot of like… bad luck happened I guess. The book was about his life right. He was just like me. He was an introvert. He was emotional. He didn’t have much going on with his life. He was a solo. He didn’t interact much. That feeling kind of resonated with me because I haven’t seen it that much. The reading of that book feels like we are on the same page. We are on the same sea. We are floating without any directions. Just floating. Waiting and wishing for another different life. In the story he did. He actually found himself basically. And honestly, it was amazing. I guess that’s it. I really had to read them a second.

A book that I recently read was called Stars. The book was about the daily life of a person. His name is Koon Ray in Vietnamese. I don't know his English name, unfortunately. I didn't read it much, but he had a pretty rough start, I guess. It might sound very harsh from what I'm saying, but the book describes him as a sole loser. He didn't have anything. He didn't have much to work with. He was broke. His family didn't love him. A lot of things, a lot of bad luck happened, I guess. The book was about his life, right? He was just like me. He was an introvert. He was emotional. He didn't have much going on in his life. He was solo. He didn't interact much. That feeling kind of resonated with me because I haven't seen it that much. Reading that book feels like we are on the same page. We are on the same sea. We are floating without any direction, just floating, waiting and wishing for a different life. In the story, he did. He actually found himself, basically. And honestly, it was amazing. I guess that's it. I really had to read it a second time.
