I enjoyed this book; the chronology was all over the place but it was also nice to remember people randomly throughout the essays. I’m not sure I quite understand the titles pertinence to the book. I like the way she writes: honest, deliberate, passionately.

Excellent set of essays. Masterfully organized. Emotion-generating stories of real life. Living, loving, moving, learning, and teaching. Lovely book. Highly recommended!

Love Megan Stielstra. Very passionate writer who has a relatable story for everyone. Language is a bit dramatic at times, so if you're prone to eye-roll, note that.

I made myself stretch this collection out over a week but it was extremely difficult--i didn't want it to end.

Fair warning- this book will make you feel feelings. It’s visceral, reflective and viscous you human.

This collection of essays was great - so specific to the times and places Stielstra evokes in each one. The exploration of different relationships and moments and how they change and define us is great. Some of this territory no longer feels as new/fresh as it probably did when each piece came out, but I liked it a lot anyways. Overall would recommend, especially to Midwesterners!

If Megan doesn't inspire you, then I would check your pulse. So good.

This is one of my new favorite books. I loved every page of it. I slowly dragged it out so I could more fully appreciate it. Why didn't this book get more attention?

This book is actually 10/10 but Goodreads only lets me do 5 stars.
