Phenomenal. The chapter “Dream House as Choose Your Own Adventure” is one of the best chapters of a book I’ve ever read. What a visceral and innovative memoir.

Alexandra Vasti does it again. So fun! So hot! Espionage, radical politics, he’s down bad, “my wife,” meddling side characters, and Zebras!!

I hate lying and SO much of this book revolves around dishonesty. It goes beyond trope-y fake dating. I really wanted to like this more. The themes of self empowerment, friendship, and found family were eclipsed by all of the lying.

The ending was surprising, and sweet. I love the way that Center writes as though the narrator is looking back fondly over events that occurred. Overall a quick read.
