Look, the writing is phenomenal and I didn't want to put it down. But often I had to. Set it down and walk away. Do a lap of the house. Skip ahead to make sure things are okay, and then reading back. I'm not sure I'm glad this is in my brain now. In some way, I wish I could take it all out. Men are so scary, bro. Damn.
