Funny, honest, insightful: a delight to read! Such a great voice, can’t wait to read more of Brammer’s writing.

I found it to be an enjoyable read, well narrated in the audiobook format, not super intellectual but for a self-help series of short stories I didn’t dislike it, which is rare. I appreciated the author’s vulnerability.

Bitchy thought, but I’m always skeptical of when a Funny Online Gay writes a book, because I’ve seen many cases where amusing tweets or articles does not translate well into a whole ass book.
Not the case here! JP’s writing is so thoughtful, sad and also really hopeful. Loved the dissections of the bizarre relationships we encounter from being gay, lonely, and online.
Also shout out to how JP writes the dialogue he remembers between himself and other people. I’ve seen so many past autobiographies where the written conversations are too cleverly written and edited to be believable that that’s how they really talked. If anything, JP gives the more colourful dialogue to the people he met, and lets his own voice shine in the narration.
