Kiese Laymon’s memoir was named the Best Audiobook of the year by Audible, Inc. The Audible write up says “I was stunned not only by his immense talent as a writer, but also by the unprecedented intimacy of what he was choosing to share. This is a voice we’ve rarely heard speak so vulnerably and frankly about the truth of what it is to be human. And it’s a voice that, perhaps more than any other this year, needs to be heard.”

In addition, New York Times critic Jennifer Szalai named it one of her best books of 2018 calls it a “generous, searching memoir.” Scribner published the book on October 16, 2018.
