Welcome to the “Nothing is Wrong with You” book podcast.
Today, we discuss Ocean Vuong’s award-winning novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous and how sometimes even when a book is gorgeous, our lives do not allow us the space to experience it. Join us as we talk about what we bring to books when we read them, and how sometimes even the best book isn’t the best for us.

Thank you for joining us.
Three avid readers (Rebecca, Colleen, and Athena) host a podcast about being a reader to investigate their interactions with books: this includes a close look at books that people rave about, and we couldn’t even finish, and why we continue to follow writers when we have only liked their early books. It is also a place where we shine a light on the unseen or underappreciated books we fell in love with.
