A Place for Us: A Memoir

Honest, vulnerable, and timely.

Honest, and unflinching look at grief in its many forms and at the sometimes-ridiculous aspects of growing up and becoming more than we once were.

Vulnerable, the author reveals a lot of fragile moments besides the big ones the small very human moments that we can all relate to even though our egos might not let us share, with every vulnerable moment I had this parental urge to protect Brandon so for me it made the whole reading experience very emotional, seriously, I cried at least 4 times.

Timely, we have grown so accustomed to violence on mass market scale that it's easy to forget that behind every act are lives that are as rich and full as ours, there is so much of it we simply cannot contain all that pain or even the awareness of it but it's important that we remind ourselves of it occasionally be it just so we don't lose sight of what and especially WHO we stand to lose if we don't do anything to curb the currently growing climate of hatred.

Disclosure: I received and eARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, I don't think this fact affected my review in any way.
