Really beautiful and clever story telling. Vulnerable and informative, he somehow makes a heavy story feel weighted and like coffee with a good friend. A must read and re read for sure.

It took me a while at the beginning to figure out how to read this book, but once I got into it, I couldn't stop reading. At first it feels like a lot of vignettes only connected in that they're about the same person, but gradually it all comes together. The author's "kid" voice is really well-done.
