thank you to bloomsbury academic and netgalley for this arc of sticker by henry hoke in exchange for an honest review. the whole premise of this book being a memoir told through different stickers, particularly the experiences someone goes through with said stickers, is an extremely interesting one. unfortunately for me, this just fell flat. while some of the stories drew me in and kept me going, for the most part i felt disconnected and uninspired. thank you again to bloomsbury academic and netgalley for this early release.

I received an advanced e-copy if this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
An interesting take on the format of memoir, both personal and universal. Centring moments of personal and public memory onto stickers gives a particularly interesting reference point and allows for a common thread to be woven throughout the book. Meaning it all feels contacted despite its non linear approach. A particular highlight was the continual references to scratch and sniff which created some especially poetic moments.
