The audiobook is narrated by the author and Marshall does a great job. The book is poignant and self aware without losing genuine feeling. The book tells the story of Marshall's childhood and early adulthood, ending with his marriage in his 30's. The book follows the relative timeline of his life while also focusing each chapter on specific people or events that impacted his life. It is an organizational strategy that phenomenally highlights the emotional impact of people and events on Marshall's life. Marshall does not shy away from talking about his privileged background but it also isn't the focus of the story. It is a beautifully written book about family, disability and queerness, but the overall thesis that people are what make up an individual is never lost in the weeds.
