141 Hinkle Street: Where Love Conquers All Book

Probably closer to 2.5 stars, but there were portions that I enjoyed much more than I expected.

I was given this book when I was 15 by someone that I was crushing on at a point where my self esteem was very very low. You know how infatuation works. I took it as a sign and absolutely tore through the book. It's been twelve years, and this has been sitting on my bookshelf/windowsill off and on for that entire time. It's sun faded, water damaged, and yellowed.

I decided that it was finally time for me to get rid of the book (dropping it off in Logan Square's Little Free Library), but before doing that I wanted to read it one more time to see what's changed in a decade.

It's clear that Beaumier is a contributor to This American Life, and I was unsurprised to find a dedication to Sedaris in the back. It reads like a TAL story, so if you're looking for more of that, check the Little Free Library this weekend to nab my copy.
