Too Much Is Not Enough by Andrew Rannells

5.0

---

Some books are so good you are torn between devouring them as quickly as possible and drawing it out so it doesn’t end so soon. The best of those good books are the kind where the “devour” option is the one that wins out because the pain of there being no more to read is outweighed by the need to keep going. This is one of those books. I started it at roughly noon and had it done by a quarter after five, and I only put it down to eat lunch. This book is so beautiful and personal and touching. It feels like you’re looking in on the most beautiful and raw moments of Rannells’ life and yet the writing is also relatable and unafraid of poking fun at itself. I never thought of myself as the ‘memoir’ type person, but if you ever read a memoir, make it this one.
