Es ist das Jahr 1995, Hua Hsu ist achtzehn und sucht seinen Platz, seine Leute. 'Ich wollte den Eindruck vermitteln, dass ich mich mit meiner Stimme wohl fühlte.' Er ist stolz darauf, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Er gibt Zines heraus, durchstöbert die Plattenläden der Bay Area, erstellt Mixtapes, kauft seine Kleider aus zweiter Hand. Als er Ken zum ersten Mal trifft, findet er alles an ihm öde. Ken mag Abercrombie &Fitch, Pearl Jam, ist in einer Studentenverbindung, hat eine 'konventionell attraktive' Freundin, geht gerne aus, hat gute Manieren. Alles so fürchterlich Mainstream. Die beiden haben auch ganz unterschiedliche familiäre Hintergründe, obwohl sie beide als Asian-American gelesen werden. Huas Eltern kamen fürs Studium aus Taiwan, während Kens japanisch-amerikanische Familie schon seit Generationen in den USA lebt und sich Ken, aus Huas Sicht, längst nahtlos in die amerikanische Kultur eingegliedert hat. Trotz allem werden Hua und Ken Freunde. Eine Freundschaft, die auf langen Fahrten entlang der kalifornischen Küste und bei nächtlichen Gesprächen auf Raucherbalkonen stetig wächst. 'Eine neue Schachtel Zigaretten, noch einmal zwanzig Gespräche.' Und dann ist Ken plötzlich nicht mehr da, wird unerwartet und sinnlos Opfer eines Verbrechens, nicht einmal drei Jahre nach dem Tag, an dem sie sich zum ersten Mal trafen. Entschlossen, die Erinnerungen an einen seiner engsten Freunde zu bewahren, beginnt Hua zu schreiben, denn er weiß nun: 'Zu sich selbst zu finden, gelingt nicht in einem Vakuum.' Stay True ist ein bestärkendes Memoir über das Erwachsenwerden, eine Nachruf auf die Jugend, diese Suche nach Sinn und Zugehörigkeit, und ein Zeugnis großzügigster Freundschaft.

It’s alright.
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
Not bad pillows. They are comfortable but mine came with an odd odor, kind of mildewy smell to it. Had to spray it down to tolerate sleeping on it.

Nice pillows
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
Have had these a few months and so far really like them! They don’t really feel very cooling, but I also run VERY HOT so it could just be me. The foam holds up well and hasn’t flattened like others I’ve tried. They come very compacted- I was shocked how much they expanded!

Amazing - Stop Scrolling and Buy This Pillow
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I have been an Amazon customer ever since the very beginning, and this is my first review. Not because I haven’t purchased tons of amazing things (and a few bad ones), just never felt the need. However, I researched pillows for longer than I care to admit, and decided on this one. I’ve had it for about six months and absolutely love it. No lie, I genuinely look forward lying my big head on it after a long day. I am a side sleeper, but flip flop all around through the night and it’s great in every position. Pros: Stays nice and cool, which is soothing regardless of the time of year. Has a sort of quilted textured pattern on the zip up cover, gives it a luxury feel, that breaths nicely even when a pillow case is added. The fill is fully adjustable to your preference. I knew it came with extra filling but was worried it would not be enough. Wrong. It was very full and I ended up taking some out until it was perfect. It comes vacuum sealed and suggests it may take some time to fully take shape. However, I found it to be about 90% almost instantly and was sleeping on it a couple hours later. There was no unpleasant scent sometimes associated with memory foam items. The foam itself is very nice, a mix of what appears to be shredded and cotton candy cloud like. Very brilliant idea, as it is somehow supportive, soft and firm all at once. The affordability of this pillow compared to some of the others in this category can’t be overstated. Oh, and the packaging was very thoughtfully and securely done. If you are like me, an over thinker, I would suggest just taking this for a spin. It’s amazing. I’m not a bot, or working for the company. I’m just truly satisfied, love this pillow, and have been sleeping great.

It's the perfect pillow!
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I purchased this pillow specifically for its customizable fill feature, which allows you to add or remove stuffing to suit your personal comfort needs. Due to the unique curvature of my cervical spine—forward at the neck rather than backward—I require a soft, semi-flat pillow rather than one that is thick or firm. Additionally, I often experience ear discomfort by morning, so a gentler surface is essential. Upon adjusting the fill, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of stuffing included. There was enough to fill an additional pillowcase, and I estimate it could easily create four to five more pillows. The ability to modify the pillow’s firmness at any time is an outstanding feature that makes it adaptable for a wide range of preferences and sleep styles. This pillow has exceeded my expectations in both comfort and versatility. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a personalized sleep experience.
