I had a lot of hope this book was gonna get to me and while it was tough to read it was not at all due to the topic. The way the author wrote it was like he drug on about the small details and then the huge things where I wanted to feel every emotion. Well just flew by but that’s a man for ya I guess. I do say I know this wasn’t easy to write about I’m sure!

This was a compelling memoir of marriage. Moody's candor is so raw and brave. He doesn't hold back any of his transgressions, demons or the hardships he and his marriages faced. From the joys to the misery he lets the reader look in and bares it all. Sincerely written, I really enjoyed his writing style.

Marriage is hard. Life can throw you so much. But if you are lucky enough to have a partner that pulls you back up and you face whatever it is together then love triumps. This book is a real testament to that. If you like memoirs give this a read. Available August 6th!

Thank You to the publisher for sending me this #ARC.

Truth: I’m always drawn into Rick Moody’s writing and his memoirs in particular. The story of his first year of marriage, full of so much loss, was packed with the visual and anecdotal details I love from him.
