This book is phenomenal. I enjoyed reading it so much. Chee is a brilliant essayist, and while each essay stands alone just fine, this collection builds narratively in a way that I have never seen in another essay collection. This book is smart, sincere, and painfully honest. It's very intense at times, but it is very good all the way through.
