You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers

5.0

I have had this book on my bookshelf for years after picking it up at a used bookstore on sale, and previously gave it a half hearted try. And boy oh boy am I glad I gave it another go. This book snuck up on me. A beautiful exploration of grief, trauma, identity, charity, friendship, and mental health with a wonderfully humorous and simultaneously gut-wrenching lens. I binged this in a day, which I think heightened the experience and also worked really well with the format of the book.
