I entirely picked this book on the cover, so I’m surprised at how much I could relate to Wiley. There’s lots of unvarnished honesty in here. I saw a lot of reviews on that other site about it being “dramatic,” but I can only wonder if those people are just uncomfortable or unfamiliar with struggle. The relative plainness of the language in sections makes it less dramatic to me - it’s just what happened/happens.
The compilation starts out really strong with But They Say I Will Not Make It and then Mixed Girl. Other favorites were Glory in Two Parts, Fat Joke, A Green Book For My Niece, When We Were Kings, One Day, and Belly Kisses.
No One’s really hurt - if animal death gets you, please skip.
I didn’t relate as much to the dating stuff, but a lot of it was quirky and amusing. Some of the things pointed out as “bad” in reviews were so obviously bad on purpose I don’t know how anyone missed that being bad was the point (i.e., twists on pick up lines).
