We read this book together in my grade 8 class. I don't think I ever heard the other students that quiet before. A few people cried a bit (myself included). It's so wonderfully written, and such a powerful story.
A couple years ago, I had the honor of meeting Mr. George Brady at the premier for the movie version of this. He gave me copy of this signed by himself and Fumiko Ishioka. (<== Just wanted to share that, haha)

I'm weirdly surprised by how much I loved this. I knew I was going to; The Try Guys are probably my favourite YouTubers of all time, I could seriously watch them for hours on end and not get bored (in fact, I have done this... don't judge). So I went into this fully expecting to love it and all the laugh out loud moments I was about to experience.
What I wasn't expecting was the amount of tissues I needed during the duration of this audiobook (highly recommend the audiobook by the way, they're hilarious in it), mainly because of Zach, and mostly when he talked about his family and childhood. WOW did I ever relate to him. But aside from Zach, every Try Guy made me tear up at one point or another; Ned describing the birth of his child (which baffled me because I have zero desire to ever become a mother and the thought of childbirth typically disgusts me), Eugene discussing growing up queer and depressed (#relatable) and also his struggles with being emotionally distant from his family (#doublerelatable), and Keith from laughing so hard on multiple occasions.
This was such a thoughtful and emotional memoir. These guys really went above and beyond, pushed their own limits, and shared some genuinely good advice that I plan on following. I really liked how the chapters were broken up, and the ways that each individual's section was broken up in the chapters as well. It was a well crafted book, and I definitely plan on buying the physical copy too so I can see the pictures that they put in there.
At the very end up the book, The Try Guys challenge every reader to do something that they've been meaning to do but haven't because it scares them. I've decided to face my fear of working out in public, and just signed up me and 2 of my best friends for a kick boxing class!
