This was your typical rockstar romance, with great narration. Nothing about it wowed me…but nothing upset me, either.
pickA concept reminiscent of existential therapy; death, meaning, isolation, and freedom, with prose that dives between the dissonance of reality and unreality and that heady sense that the past is the future, Klune explores the philosophical/scientific debate of nature vs. nurture with an evocative twist, thus inbuing the story in subtext; memory, introspection, testimony, and reason while balancing the social benefits of knowledge vs. autonomy.
so-soNothing wrong with these lessons, but for me they felt kind of intuitive. There was something old fashioned and even comforting about the advice that I did enjoy. It reminded me of the classes my father took for his company in the 80‘s. Dad is highly effective, so maybe it worked. 🤷🏻♀️

My dad wasn't much of a reader, but he was a fan of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits book, and I still think about both it and him when I'm working, even if it couldn't be further from my reading preferences. The odd thing is, I have all these bookish memories linked to him: 1) him wanting to buy me this expensive book when I was a kid but making sure I would read it (I never did), 2) me taking John Dean's memoir from his shelf 👇
