I already loved Nate Stevenson but this made me love him even more. I'm officially a fangirl.
It's fascinating to read his cheerful little year-in-review letters juxtaposed with disturbing little comics showing how he actually feels. At the end, when it all comes to a head and he decides to be fully honest - it's viscerally cathartic. There's a photo at the end of him and his wife on their wedding day, and they look so joyful that it made me tear up.
At times, the printing quality makes it difficult to read his handwritten captions, but that's the publisher's fault, not Nate's.
