I have never read a book like this. Funny, profane, affecting -- both an of-the-moment reflection of the costs of being truly online and a shattering look at love and family and life. For the most part, I have avoided "quarantine content" and while this doesn't touch on all aspects of the last year, when I look back on this time -- I am certain to also think of this beautiful book and the question at its raw, beating heart -- What truly matters?
