Stay True is really good and will not destroy you or make you cry even though it feels like it should. It’s actually very boring in parts — or not boring, but like it’s all the mental and relational detritus that isn’t important to anyone else but you because you love someone.

I love it because he went to Berkeley the year after I started college and I also grew up in the Bay Area. It reminded me specifically of my college days and that heady feeling of friendship and freedom and school and feeling like you’re the first to discover justice or radical ideas or rebellion.

Plus, his relationship with his parents is so healing and lovely and I can’t believe it is true — especially his dad. Such a precious bean. Those were some of my favorite parts.

Beautiful memoir and the nature of self, identity, love, and the accuracy of memory.
