Net Galley did not give readers a feedback ratio when I first requested this book of nonfiction. I had an issue downloading this title and so never received it. However, now publishers are looking at that in determining whether or not to provide a digital ARC, so I am having to go back and fill these out for titles requested more than two years ago.

I appreciate Hill's blend of theological reflection and personal experience. His story challenges dominant narratives regarding masculinity and elevates the value of meaningful friendship. His challenge of individual freedom, an impediment to true friendship, was particularly good: "If your deepest fulfilment is found in personal autonomy, then friendhsip...is more of a liability than an asset."
