I didn’t quite know what I was signing up for with this one, but what a journey. I was completely swept up in the confusion and crushing loneliness of this poor boy’s childhood. This book had a lot in common with Tara Westover’s Education. While Westover’s story is more extreme in its subject matter, this book was more personal, more reflective, and ultimately more haunting. I highly recommend the audio version — you can truly hear every emotion in his voice and sense the true complexity of his inner journey.
