Honestly just way too much bible stuff for me. I think it's used cleverly but I hit my quota
This isn't going to be for everyone, but you know if it's for you, I think. Daniel Lavery is one of my favorite internet people, and so I expected to enjoy this book. If you were a Toast fan or are a Shatner Chatner subscriber, you know it's for you. If you want to read a very thoughtful, sharp, challenging and funny memoir-adjacent collection of essays about transition and identity, you will enjoy this too.
I readily admit that I'm not quite as up on my mythology and Biblical references as Daniel's writing would like me to be, so there are parts of all of his work that require effort for me to keep up with. It's very much worth the effort, and even sometimes the acceptance of missing a reference or two. It's ok! If you don't really get that biblical reference, you probably will keep up at Mean Girls, or The O.C. (sigh of nostalgia!) or Golden Girls, or Anne of Green Gables, or something else. Those references are so much fun, and I enjoy them very much. I also just really admire and appreciate the honesty, thoughtfulness, insight and bravery of this work.
