I’ve read all three of Arceneaux’s books, this is my fave. It’s got so much vulnerability and depth on top of the humor. It really shows his growth.

Some essays I loved and some I found slow and less focused. I also listened to it and the author has a gentle voice so that likely contributed to some of the essays feeling slower.

Great writings about a Black man grieving. It arrives in a multitude of ways. The humor continues.

I enjoyed Arceneaux’s second book, so when I saw he had come out with a new one I decided to pick it up! I really enjoyed these essays. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability with which he writes. I like his sense of humor and it provides some light to some heavier topics. I also enjoyed reading about his experiences as a native Houstonian and how his relationship with the city has evolved with age and the pandemic. Some favorites include Better to Cry Now Than Never, I’ll Give You My Last, Taking My Own Advice, and Uncle Mikey.
