adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

Solid 4.5/5
Really interesting book. I found myself commiserating with Fitzgerald- growing up in the same area, on being raised Catholic, on his being a "pathological accommodator" and family with a "loud house". 

He is a super interesting guy and I really enjoyed his perspective on growth, forgiveness, and life.
