“Meh. I've always enjoyed Goldberg's writing, but this one was...fraught. Painful, messy, uncomfortable. Like life? Maybe. But not really such an enjoyable read, nor do I feel like I really learned much through the experience or came away with much new insight. There were some touching moments, but...yeah. Hmph. In some ways, I feel like Goldberg *needed* to write this book, and that's cool. But somehow I'm still not convinced that I needed to read it.”
