very helpful in understanding my attachment insecurities with others & myself, i recommend this for anyone regardless of relationship structure & sexual or romantic orientation. there's a lot to be gained in your inter & intrapersonal relationships from the information & questions shared in this book

very quick & colorful read, am glad this exists

Merged review:

very quick & colorful read, am glad this exists

a beautiful romance between two deranged freaks

although he talks about his family with more fondness than i do mine, it was a bit surreal hearing him lay out those unnecessarily tense conversations about nothing important with relatives & it sound exactly like every conversation i've had & been an audience to with the italian side of my family. i always felt a little insane growing up around them but maybe it's just an italian american kind of neuroses

definitely recommend listening to the audiobook! i assume the audio was recorded & the physical book is just a transcription of it based off how it sounds like she's just talking stream of consciousness, i think reading it would feel very flat compared to hearing her speak about her life & songs
