There is No Meant to Be
Inventive, funny, and deeply moving, this is a family epic unlike any other: part love story, part elegy, part reminder that even in the mess of family and memory, there is something to laugh about.
There is no meant to be, but the love I’ve known has made it hard to believe that.
Beautifully accesses the space(s) between novel and memoir, between masculinity and humanhood. It’s a long time since I’ve read anything so raw and intimate, so daring and disobedient.

In a world teetering on madness, here is an ode to truth, courage, and the beautiful power of vulnerability.

A multi-layered, many-textured masterpiece.

Caustic, hilarious, unflinchingly honest and so captivatingly humane, I couldn’t put this book down.
