This deeply tender book had me outright sobbing (repeatedly, continuously even) at the wonder of the human experience. Sadness and happiness alike were made beautiful by the author’s prose. The reading experience felt like a meandering walk through the Rocky Mountains (or some similarly inspiring location on Condé Nast lists) that I did not want to end.
