4.75
I loved reading this. It hits one of my favorite sweet spots, which is the place where you don't know where real life ends and fiction begins. It has so many interesting insights to offer on craft, family, death, art... this is one of those books that I can't even count the number of people I'd recommend it too. I just wish I'd had a physical copy so I could've written all over it! I do think it could come across as a bit preachy or overly pretentious at times esp depending on the audience, so it's a 4.75 for me.
