I really loved this memoir! It was well-paced and very engaging, thoughtful and incisive while also being quite funny at times.
This book is quite literally close to home; Western is about an hour from where I live, and my sibling even attended the school at the same time as the author. A lot of the cultural reference points were familiar and very relatable, and it was interesting to see how Martis’ experiences of university life was similar and also incredibly different from mine.
I will absolutely read any further work from Martis & would highly recommend picking up this memoir!
