Believe me when I tell you I can’t remember the last time I read something like this. I’m still processing and am certain I’ll be going back and reading specific passages. I might have already. I honestly can’t say enough about it.

There's just something very lyrical about her writing in that book. ... Even though you know you're reading prose, it comes off like poetry.

What struck me the most about [the book] was just his incredible vulnerability. I've read memoirs before, but he was fearless in the things that he revealed ... There are still chapters of that book that stick with me.
