and I was really enjoying it. So, I was checking out his catalog and realized that he had written a novella, and I decided to give it a shot because it's so short. Why not?
Speaker A
This completely blew me away. I was sobbing. Uh, this book is very heartbreaking, but also beautiful at the same time. My girlfriend actually managed to capture some candid footage of me sobbing on the couch while reading.
Speaker A
Are you kidding me? I'm on page 11. I don't know what—I don't know what's going on.
Speaker A
And a book has never done that to me before. I have teared up while reading before, but this was full-blown crying with a box of tissues next to me. It is just beautiful in every way, shape, and form, including the cover and the title.
Speaker A
I mean, what a crazy title. The message is beautiful, and even though it's heartbreaking, you still kind of walk away with a smile on your face and a tear in your eye at the same time. I highly recommend it. I rated it five
Speaker A
stars. I absolutely loved it, and it definitely makes me want to check out some of his other books. As far as what's next, I am in the middle of three different books right now. So, as I mentioned before, I am halfway through
Speaker A
Anxious People, which I am enjoying. My book club also picked The Last Mrs. Parrish as our next pick, so I have to start that. And then I'm also halfway through The Left Hand Theory by Mel Robbins. I always have, like, a
Speaker A
non-fiction book kind of running in the background. So, I'm in the middle of three books right now, but I'm chipping away at them slowly but surely, and I'm enjoying every second of it. It's really great. So, if you got the chance to read
Speaker A
this, let me know what you thought. If you got the chance to read Anxious People, let me know what you thought.
Speaker A
Until then, I will see you guys soon.
