If at Birth You Don't Succeed

This one elicited a lot of feels. It is a solid first book but has some first book tendencies: areas that are slightly stilted, mildly jarring transitions in tone etc, but they are pretty minimal.

More importantly though:
1- i woke my partner up multiple times by laughing uncontrollably, so maybe don't read this in bed if your partner has to wake up early, or on airplanes.
2- Zach Anner's is a necessary voice, describing an experience that the overwhelming majority of people never see and are never confronted with. We need diverse books to combat our narrow preoccupations with our own lives.
