I love this gorgeous, generous, perfect book and want to have 6 different conversations about it all at once. The acknowledgment section trails into a note that ambushes me with even more love and gratitude: “Reader, your attention—a measure of time, your most non-replenishable resource—is a profound gift, one I have done my best to honor.”

right in the jugular vein... (I'm loving this book soooo much, btw!)"

Camille Kaveh went to my alma mater and is deeply loved by everyone there. I have the book and can't wait to finally read it!


Becca I read this based on your review. All I can say is Thank you. It was, as you said, gorgeous, generous, and perfect.

Rebecca A This is possibly my favourite acknowledgement ever. Love this so much.


Cameron The acknowledgement stood out to me too, especially with so much out there that doesn’t give our attention the respect it deserves.
