A love story and so much more

This was a beautiful retelling of a love story from two different perspectives. it shows how our memories overlap and differ with those we love. In a lot of ways it's also about growing up and into who you really are. There is a lot of beautiful vulnerability and honesty in this story. I highly recommend it.

Great book but give it up about the economic crisis

This was a great book and a really interesting read especially from a psychological perspective to see how two married peoples memories overlap and differ. That said it was excruciating listening to two theatre majors in college constantly complain about how the 2008 economic collapse killed their job prospects being oblivious that their choice in a college major was likely faaaaaar more complicit in their joblessness and underemployment than any economic crisis.

Surprisingly Amazing

Although I am not familiar with Welcome to Night Vale, or any other work from these authors I was immediately drawn into the humorous and heartfelt story telling. As a girl from California, who fell in love with a Jersey guy, I totally resonated with the experiences, challenges and delights of falling in love with my coastal opposite. I also really Meg's humorous account of how to determine if you TRULY want to get married or are just caught up in societal expectations, which is the first time I have ever heard my similar beliefs expressed in such an articulate and digestible manner. Their love story is non-traditional, fun, and ultimately full of strange but useful tips to help any true love survive. I was sucked into the sharp and biting writing style and didn't want it to end!!! Strangely, this surprise novel will stay with me for a long time, and I am sure I will read again and again.

I want to be friends with these guys!

I’d never heard of the authors before but I thoroughly enjoyed this book 😁 Great job on the writing and performance. I can’t wait until the next installment after becoming parents 🤞🏼

Irreverent and angsty. Excellent performance.

Performance is excellent and you can tell both authors are very interesting and intelligent creatives. Honestly made me very curious to listen to Nightvale as I had never heard of it prior to this book. I thought this book was going to be very different- more self help marriage type over memoir. That was my mistake, but I didn't feel the auidiobook was bad - just not my cup of tea. It was very irreverent, particularly of religion, which I can stomach for the most part, but to rip up a Bible to use as joint rolling paper was just too much for me. Also, very political, and just feels angsty in some sections. Clearly they are very passionate people and I appreciated their perspectives and humor.
