I found his to be VERY interesting, very frank, and truly honest about the complexities of relationships, sexuality, and just how "not simple" it all is. I don't typically read memoirs but this will one I'm thinking about for quite some time. Very much enjoyed this author's story.

I should begin by saying I will read anything Molly Wizenberg writes. I have been a fan of hers since her blogging days and have since devoured her books and her podcast. I was thrilled to receive an eARC of this from NetGalley and could not wait to dive in.

As a longtime reader of Wizenberg, the central story to this memoir was one I was acquainted with, but she does a wonderful job of shepherding her reader along the journey and applying both personal depth and research to her experience. She shares some hard truths about marriage and motherhood that not everyone is brave enough to admit and shines an honest light on many complex issues involved with sexuality, relationships, and motherhood. The writing bounces around in time and topic at many points, which can be jarring to the reader, but works in concert with Wizenberg's own disjointed feelings, thoughts, and experiences as she navigates her newly burgeoning reality.

This book is enjoyable to readers who have followed Wizenberg from her blog to her food and restaurant writing to now, but is also perfectly accessible and wonderful for readers who are new to her writing. It is an important book contributing to the sharing of LBTQ+ experiences.

Beautiful, heartbreaking, but also astonishing in it's depictions of the messiness of life and the ongoing struggles of figuring it all out. I was moved constantly by this memoir, both by the honesty with which Wizenberg describes her journey with herself and her dissolution of her marriage and paving the way forward, but also by her apt choices in quotations and thoughts from other works or writers. A lovely book, and a necessary one, too.
