About this audiobook

"Burroughs has lived this story, so his delivery perfectly matches the tone and pacing needed. Focusing on a series of failed relationships, Burroughs lets his voice rise in both tension and tenor as he analyzes the reasons, with help from analysis, that some relationships work and others are doomed by the personal quirks of both people." — AudioFile Magazine

    Loved it. Hilarious and raw, uncomfortable and unnerving at times but with candor and clever wit that kept you locked in for more.
