 I loved the first half of this book. Anyone who is a fan of RENT would enjoy reading about the birth of the musical. I could‘ve done without the author‘s first sexual experiences in the middle, but I could certainly identify with some of the grief he experienced when he lost his mother. All-in-all I‘d only recommend it if you are a big fan of RENT.

#DashingDecember wrap up. How like me to read exactly one book off of my intended TBR and follow up with 6 other books 😆 So much easier to do audio with the holiday hustle and bustle than cozy up with my Kindle. Tagged book was very good but a very heavy read compared to what I‘ve been reading lately. 💔 #BookSpinBingo #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #Adventathon #WrapItUpReadathon 150 words for #WGWordSearch

Fun fact: my first ever purchase on a credit card was buying this book back in university.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Straight up loved what is one of the most unflinching and honest memoirs of grief, loss, musical plays and relationships, I have ever read. I absolutely loved this book and read it in 3 sittings. It would have been one, but a Tom Hiddleston play intervened ... as did a sister.

I'm fast running out of room on my signed books shelves... 😟

Because I'm bored, you all are going to be subjected to some of the more memorable ones here.

I don‘t know how many times I saw RENT while I was living in NYC - but it was a lot. And I wasn‘t aware that Anthony Rapp had a memoir! 🙀 I started listening to this yesterday and now I can‘t stop. I love his descriptions of 1990s NYC because that will forever be “my” NYC ❤️. He also chronicles his mom‘s diagnosis with cancer. You definitely don‘t need to be a fan of RENT to be moved by this beautiful story. #seasonsoflove #musicalnewyear

Made me cry! Such a beautiful tale of life and its losses.

I love all things Broadway and I love the show rent!!! I actually saw him as Mark Cohen in Rent!!! This book was a great look at his life!!! #memiormonday #readingresolutions @Jess7

So Anthony Rapp friended me on Goodreads and now I want to listen to "La Vie Boheme."

I was lucky to see RENT a couple times when Anthony and Adam Pascal returned to the show on Broadway. I also saw him in concert and his book is wonderful.

?Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our goodbyes?

I was (and still am) a total Rent-head. Yes, this is a book about loss. It's a book about grief, and getting through. It's also a look inside the process of Rent, since Rapp was with the show from its early workshop performances. Riveting, moving, a must read for fans of the show.
