This collection of essays was great - so specific to the times and places Stielstra evokes in each one. The exploration of different relationships and moments and how they change and define us is great. Some of this territory no longer feels as new/fresh as it probably did when each piece came out, but I liked it a lot anyways. Overall would recommend, especially to Midwesterners!

If Megan doesn't inspire you, then I would check your pulse. So good.

This is one of my new favorite books. I loved every page of it. I slowly dragged it out so I could more fully appreciate it. Why didn't this book get more attention?

This book is actually 10/10 but Goodreads only lets me do 5 stars.

I made the mistake of getting this book from the library. I should have bought a copy instead. The stories and truths shook me to the core, reminded me of my own fears that had been long buried, and made me think. These essays made me think A LOT. I want to revisit them often, I want to remember things that I felt while reading them. This is an amazing book, definitely in my top 10 this year.
