It's Hard for Me to Live with Me: A Memoir by Seth Davis, Rex Chapman

emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

3.75

I'm reading adult books that I think might work for a teen audience right now, and I grabbed this one because sports titles are often popular and it had a relatively short audiobook. The voice is so conversational and blunt that I do think it might be a good fit for the right teen reader. There's profanity and frank discussions of sexuality and addiction, with a refreshingly straightforward perspective. The opening does a great job of building suspense, and for a big chunk of the book Chapman is a kid/teen/college student. I found it interesting and somewhat endearing even though it wouldn't normally be a story I'd pick up for myself. Would recommend for basketball fans or anyone curious about what it's like to navigate college and professional sports. Also a deep dive into what addiction can look like and how difficult it can be to navigate for those affected.
