We Are Too Many: A Memoir [Kind of] by Hannah Pittard

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

I really liked this. It took me a minute to get used to the dialogue style via audio and I didn’t find the narrator particularly likable (particularly in the flashbacks from the mid-to-late aughts/her late twenties) but I really liked the vignette format and fragmented timeline and interspersing of speculated scenarios with so many detailed memories. It’s a very short read and I was able to finish in just one day, but I was surprised at how much it hooked me and how much longer I could have waded through Hannah’s remembrances of her failed marriage and best friend betrayal. Highly recommend for those who love semi-experimental memoirs focused on complex relationship dynamics.
