Just utterly charming and funny and sweet. It's been my go to before bed read -which is a separate thing from my during the day read and my audiobook read - and I'm going to miss it. Would be perfect for airports or waiting rooms too if you want something quick that has more heart than your newsfeed.

I was surprised after posting this to find some other readers bound The Bravest Thing I Ever Did to be transphonic. I'm non-binary, with two trans kids, and I read it as a really concise and funny take down of the kind of comedian who thinks he's being witty by punching down to the people in his audience, and doesn't stick around in case that same audience might challenge him on that. *shrugs * ymmv obviously
