A black box with part 1 of Harmony's review of Stay True by Hua Hsu. It says:

Y'all... This book. I don't even know if I have the right words to convey how much I loved this book. It touched my soul and left a gentle, permanent mark on my heart and I am 100% going to be buying myself a hardcopy of it.

This is a memoir about Hua Hsu's time in college as an awkward hipster (before hipster was a thing) who spends all his time writing zines about "real" music and politics, and his unlikely friendship with the most mainstream of mainstream popular frat guys on campus. The only thing they have in common is that they're both children of Asian American immigrants and are fully aware that there isn't exactly a place for people like them in the current American culture. What follows next is a lovely coming of age story about friendship, growing up, and finding yourself -- and the tragedies that come with it.
