Goodbye, again
by Jonny Sun

Summary (via Goodreads)
Jonny Sun is back with a collection of essays and other writings in his unique, funny, and heartfelt style. The pieces range from long meditations on topics like loneliness and being an outsider, to short humor pieces, conversations, and memorable one-liners.

It also features a recipe for scrambled eggs that might make you cry.

My Opinion
5 stars

Although all book ratings are personal and subjective, giving this 5 stars feels even more so than usual.  I think each reader would get something different out of this book; I may have even gotten more or less by reading at a different time.  But in this time while reading it, it really resonated with me.

This was a lovely, thoughtful read.  There was a wide range of topics but the underlying theme felt calm and comfortable even when he was writing about situations where he was neither of those things.

I will definitely read this author again.
