What happened to our society to make it so we view damaged things as somehow incomplete? On the contrary, I, for one, believe it is our damage that makes us whole.

Right off the bat: this book is not for everyone. Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory is about different kinds of love. How different? Well, there's a short story from the POV of a dog (yes, I cried).

It's eclectic. It's atrocious. It's chaotic. It's unique. It's funny. It's sad. But in the end, it made perfect sense.

If you love BoJack Horseman and all its craziness, consider reading the book written by its creator, Raphael Bob-Waksberg.
