"Burroughs has lived this story, so his delivery perfectly matches the tone and pacing needed. Focusing on a series of failed relationships, Burroughs lets his voice rise in both tension and tenor as he analyzes the reasons, with help from analysis, that some relationships work and others are doomed by the personal quirks of both people." — AudioFile Magazine

I have loved all Augusten’s stories and it’s wonderful to be able to hear him tell his story in his own words. I was entranced and captivated and didn’t want it to end.
So good!!
