Tense and taut and twisty. This book was perfect. Finished most of it in the course of a day because you just want it to keep going. I loved every minute of the ride. Well worth it.

Wow. What started out as a book I thought I would DNF because...well...sports. Turned out to be one of the best explorations of friendship and identity that I've ever read, and the final chapter is a chefs kiss of an epilogue.

I didn't love this right away. Honestly it took a little too long to get good and I was almost going to put it down. However once things picked up, WOW, did they ever. The ending was satisfying if not somewhat rushed. But I found myself tearing through the final 250 pages. A great thriller with well paced reveals at the end.

A beautiful guide for any artist who is struggling to create. A wonderful walk through Tori's career and her creative process. Probably mostly meant for the die hard fans who understand her history.

Loved the examination of the authors own coming out and queerness juxtaposed against the many loves and “imaginary friends” of McCullers. The concept here is interesting, telling a congruous story that both illuminates and confuses the subjects story.

Loved the style and the fresh approach. Wanted more Carson though.

Wow. I wasn't sure how I felt about this book until I reached the middle and then BAM. It just took off. Loved every second and was riveted by the final 200 pages. Perfect palette cleanser and an excellent way to decompress.

I'm still not sure what exactly this books wants to say. There is a set up of a crime and a wink at Agatha Christie, but nothing gets resolved in a way that feels murder mystery lover at all.

Great writing and easy to follow. At times felt pretentious and lacking direction as to the stories it wanted to tell.

Shockingly that its simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious.

Great idea for a memoir. Perfectly attuned with Poseys natural sensibilities.

A book that shocks and surprises at every turn.

Both stylish and interesting.

What a perfect PERFECT book.

How can this be true? Its so wild.

Bought for the advice for creatives but hard to maintain a solid interest throughout.

History has a lot of unknowns that are interesting to dig up, and Vowell has done just that...

Engrossing and so well plotted. Loved reading a “fictional” story about someone we all know.

I have loved Tori for my whole life. This book was insightful and interesting but terribly hard to understand. So much so that I had to re-read sections multiple times.

A great gay horror/supernatural story.

This books changed me as a teenager. For sure.

Just couldn't find it that compelling. 

Just felt blah about the whole story. It's more sex than plot. 

Loved the premise and the setup but I didn't feel satisfied after reading it. I felt I was left with more questions.

Has there ever been a more perfect book about the scourge of Christian missionaries and white colonialism?
