Jamie’s last review of the year

really liked it
Fun, strange, wonderful, heartfelt memoir.

Not gonna lie, outta nowhere I cried at the end.

Was not expecting that.

Also, I live in Great Falls, my wife went to the same high school as Reggie (a few years behind) so this book really hits in a special way. If you have a chance to see him live, I highly recommend it.
