On Audio. A fun read! Hearing two sides of the same love story was really interesting and sweet. I really appreciated the honesty in both of their explanations regarding their feelings for one another and their child!

joseph fink's writing has been in my life since high school, it's wonderful to get to hear about his life at the stage I am currently in. also Meg! MEEGG!! I've never put enough thought into what it takes to tour and wowowowow I am just blown away by Meg. i want to BE Meg. she's so cool. this book is fairly private and it just feels so nice and privileged to be able to know this much about their lives and relationship. now I know I can't go back and keep listening to Our Plague Year because I will breakdown WORSE than I did last year.

The premise of this memoir intrigued me. I had absolutely no idea who these people were prior to reading it - I am not a podcast person so the Night Vale series is not something I know.
This was interesting to read, and had some wise musings. However I didn’t really connect with it the way I do other memoirs. 3.5 stars

I loved, loved this book! Its exactly what i needed right now. Its funny, heartbreaking, and honest.
This is a gorgeous description of a modern relationship, tied in with discourses on creativity, body image, and mental health. As a huge Welcome to Night Vale fan, I knew that I wanted to read it and I wasn't let down. To be clear, this is a memoir about Joseph and Meg's relationship over the years (but there's still some fun Night Vale history nuggets in there too). Their respective voices come through in the alternating chapters and it was honestly a joy to read.

As an avid listener of Welcome to Night Vale and consumer of Night Vale Presents media, I knew I had to pick up this book. This may seem like a take on a romance between two aspiring artists, but reading this brought me back to time as an undergrad, listening to early episodes of Welcome to Night Vale and wondering how such an interesting team created a fantastic and surrealist world with the best LGBT representation I have ever seen in media.
Reading through the ten years of their intertwined lives, you can tell Joseph is a writer. The way he highlights symbolism in everyday tasks and how he thinks about life tells a lot about his part of the Night Vale writing team. Megan, on the other hand, is more alive in her recollections with how she approached their relationship and the work building up Night Vale Presents to the online and touring world. She speaks with bluntness and shares her personal take on events more than I remember Joseph doing. Overall, I was so happy to get a chance to read their story and I know they will succeed in the quality of any artistic endeavor moving forward.

Love these two's love. They write about the parts in relationships and falling in love people often feel but never vocalize. It's frequently funny, even when it's sad
