Super interesting to see Rapp’s life captured up to a particular moment in time. While some things are dated, it’s very much a book from the 00s. I loved getting to learn more about RENT and how he was with the cast since the very beginning. His relationship with his mom & her illness were very emotional, too, and very authentic

I enjoyed the experience of listening to Anthony Rapp talk about his experiences and this time of his life overall. I most enjoyed hearing about his experiences with being a part of Rent, as well as the reflective nature of him processing his behaviors and hardships in the midst and afteath of his mother's illness. 

Some of the language was a bit outdated and jarring, but that's almost to be expected with the age of the book.
