I guess I read this author's Atlantic article, because I do remember getting swept away with sympathy for Joe Biden's surprise stutter back in 2019/2020? This book is a memoir by that same journalist, about his own lifelong struggle with the disease.
On the one hand, I enjoyed the specificity of the author's upbringing: he grows up Catholic, on the outskirts of DC, as an old Millennial. His mindset, his childhood, his music tastes - all were VERY comfortingly familiar. On the other hand, this is a memoir specifically of his stutter - and it was painful and moving to walk that mile with him.
