challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

The heaviest, rawest memoir I’ve ever read — and I think the most important. The audiobook was exquisitely done and moved me to tears. I am in awe of Brian Broome.

hyac1nthgirl's review

challenging emotional reflective tense slow-paced

4.5

beautiful, painful, real. broome's words are thoughtful & poetic while relaying raw emotion. a chapter that stood out to me was the chapter in his mother's point of view. what a beautiful tribute to her and what a beautiful way to humanize a figure most people have trouble humanizing, the mother.
