i laughed. i cried. i felt like when you spend five hours having deep conversation with a good friend, come home happy and exhausted, and collapse on the couch to take a nap. this was so special and personal and my heart feels like it cracked open a bit.

Majority of the content is great for all ages, but there are certain essays (Small Pox Vaccine, Harvey, Googling Strangers) that one should perhaps tread carefully because of discussion of child death, and pain. Green navigates these masterfully though.

This was exactly the right book to for me at this time. I’m very grateful to have had it now and will certainly return to certain essays again and again. None of that helps you know if it would be the right book for you, but it’s the essence of what this book is for me. It matches what I need in this weird time with my particular brain.

Written in part during the COVID-19 pandemic with references to the pandemic woven throughout.

The audiobook is a pleasure to listen to. Audio clippings of near-extinct birds and a singing John Green. Way too saturated with disease and pandemic ramblings scattered throughout the book, got stale eventually.
