This was just jaw-droppingly, can't-put-it-down good. Brammer does an amazing job of taking these large existential questions and rooting them down in his own lived experiences--and doing so with compassion and deep insight. It's also just like... incredibly readable? Which sounds like a weird compliment but I seriously couldn't put it down the first day I picked it up. I was briefly worried that, as someone who reads Brammer's column, this would feel recycled, but it absolutely doesn't, and it's so healing and funny and delightful. A++
