I'm a huge Welcome to Night Vale fan so it's no surprise how much I enjoyed this memoir. The way each of the author's recollection of each year of their relationship played off the other was so fun to listen to as pairs. I'd recommend this to anyone that likes listening to memoirs.
Also there's recipes in here so double win.

If you're hoping for a book full of Night Vale stories and behind-the-scenes stuff, that's not the point of this book. But as a fan, I enjoyed the occasional mention. If you're not a fan, you won't be missing anything here (but you are in life - go listen to Night Vale and Alice Isn't Dead immediately!). I enjoy their voices both literally and figuratively, so was very happy with the audiobook. Funny without being flippant. Honest without being narcissistically vulgar. Can't wait for the next 10 years!

Through a completely unpredictable turn of events, I think this book being written (or at least written about) pre-2020 does it quite a disservice. In The Normal Times™ I would've found this a deeply touching and inspiring memoir. I did find passages very touching as is, but each of those moments of sentimentality was marred by "well... I'm sure this pales in comparison to what they've braved together now." Guess I'm already crossing my fingers for a The Next Ten Years lol
Probably an unpopular take, but I actually wish it was a little longer. More of a year-by-year memoir than a collection of essays. I wanted more opportunities to hold the chapters up side by side and catch them out in discrepancies.
However, as predicted, their writing voices and narration were engaging, entertaining, enlightening, and sentimental. The humor landed very well, and I loved hearing their personalities in contrast. The insight into backstage wtnv didn't hurt at all. (Having been a fan for nearly all those ten years added a layer of meaning for me, I think.)
Overall, exactly what it says on the tin, and a lovely read.
