I loved this and highly recommend it if you a) loved Harris Wittels's comedy and/or b) are looking for a good memoir about grief, especially the particular grief of losing someone at a young age to something preventable.
I will add that a particular bonus appeal factor here was confirmation that comedians I like are good people, or at least have done nice things. I enjoyed reading about kind gestures from people like Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Kulap Vilaysack, and Aziz Ansari. (I know most of those people have also done problematic things in their lives but just, you know, from a celebrity-adjacent memoir perspective...I liked that.)
Anyway it's very funny and heartbreaking and raw. I was very moved by it.
