Key’s style is as far from spare or minimal as a style can be, but maybe that’s part of its allure ... Key does a great job of reproducing the chaos that the conflict brings into the lives of every member of the family ... Lauren’s insights into her own feelings are both surprising and intriguing.
Hilarious and heartbreaking ... With wit and anger, humility and warmth, Key chronicles the myriad ways he has strived to understand how a couple with a lovely origin story could have grown so far apart ... Plentiful food for thought about faith, humor, courage and love.
This book documents Key’s attempt to summon love and understanding in the face of Lauren’s admission, seeking guidance from friends and the Bible. It makes for occasionally dark reading, but it’s never maudlin or vindictive. Through it all, Key demonstrates his gift for memorable humorous descriptions.
