I listened to this book in audiobook and I think the author reading it was a great personal touch. Sometimes, it was hard to remember if the content at hand was the author or the letter writer but that's likely a me problem. This is a sweet book and it makes me feel less alone in my identity. It's my first from the author, so I don't have a baseline on which to compare. Still, it's not nearly my favorite book I read this year, but it is an admirable project.
