The authors answer questions at the end as well, and there’s obviously SO much appreciation and love in this friendship, that you can really appreciate the nuance this book had to have.
In saying that, however, there were times when I felt that the ‘nuance’ didn’t cut it.
A lot to think about with this book. Hard to read at times, due to its difficult nature, but also sometimes not as well written as I had hoped it would be 🥲
I am going king to recommend it to my best friends so we can have more of this kind of conversation 👏🏼

This book did a great job at highlighting character flaws and yet never alienating the reader. Overall a great read.
