Wonderfully narrated

Revisado: 01-17-23

Compelling story that is wonderfully narrated. Memoirs are always something to take with a grain of salt, as it is their viewpoint of their life. I kept an open mind going in, concerned it was going to be a big book of fluff and shocking revelations. Instead it was a beautifully written story about a boy trying to cope with a series of extraordinarily unordinary experiences and finding his way in the world.

Story and Narration kept me captivated

Revisado: 10-25-22

I very much enjoyed this book. The book was way spicier than I was expecting based on other Green Valley spin-offs, but it worked and I liked it. No fade to black here! The story line was interesting and fast paced, and it had just enough drama to stay intriguing without so much drama that it wasn’t a laidback read. Did I mention it was spicy?? 🥵🫠🙃 Great narration - definitely one I’ll read again.

Very slow to start, but satisfying ending

Revisado: 10-25-22

I had great hope for this book, but it took me a long time to get into it. The first 3/4 were slow enough that I considered stopping the book several times. Eboni’s narration felt slow and a little stiff, as well, which perhaps compounded together to make it hard to get into. The first half of the book included some subject matter that felt a little hard/preachy and is usually what I read romance books to escape from. Overall, I’m glad I listened through to the end. The last quarter is more of what I was hoping the whole book would be like. I enjoyed the drama and the ending was satisfying. Not a book that has a lot of spice or very descriptive spice (mostly fade to black), which doesn’t detract from the book unless you like it steamy! A good book overall, but not one I’ll likely be rereading as I prefer a faster pace and more spice.

Beautiful memoir with Universal truths

Revisado: 06-21-21

Beautifully written coming of age story that is about more than coming of age. For anyone who has struggled with relationships with people who couldn’t be who you needed them to be, with finding your place in a new world, with feeling like what you do really matters, or with finding out your parents are imperfect humans just like yourself, you will find moments of your story in these pages. We might not all have grown up in a one-room schoolhouse on the harsh prairie in the 1980s and 90s, or moved to NYC as a young gay man, but Preszler’s memoir is filled with universal truths that can resonate with many. An excellent conversation starter: this book is great to read and discuss with a friend, loved one, or group.

The book is wonderfully written, seamlessly weaving memories with the story being narrated. The memories come in flashbacks, connecting the past with the present.

I normally am left wanting and unimpressed with narrator-read books. However, Matt Bomer delivered on everything that matters: nuance, tone, voices, and a passion for the book and story. It didn’t feel like a narrator, it felt like Preszler telling his own story.

A must read for care professionals

Revisado: 05-25-21

This book is a must read for anyone who works as a care or service provider of any kind. I am not a medical professional myself, so at times the science see parts of why compassion is important were more than I needed, but the overall story the book tells is so important. I will be recommending this book often!
