Maybe it was that it was audio, but there were certainly parts that felt hard to follow and not fluid, like perhaps they were just little blurbs to read here and there.
There was also a section where emails are read. I'm not opposed to this style at all, and one of the sets of email exchanges between and his friend Russo was totally useful and important. But in between you got emails from other supporters. I felt like their inclusion was fluff that was unnecessary. But, maybe 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought they were so unnecessary? It felt pretty self-inflating, and maybe that's a sign of how normal it seems now that it bothers me that these are included? But, then again, who am I to add my opinion about her inclusion of supportive emails in her funny/not-funny Sedaris style memoir about being trans - something so very personal.
