"Witty and sharp, mischievous and no-nonsense, and pointedly political. . . . Chasten writes candidly about contemplating suicide as a gay teenager, the intensity of participating in a history-making presidential campaign, and the long-lasting effects of sexual assault. . . . Chasten isn't just married to a gifted politician. He's become one himself."

—The Daily Beast

“Poignant and well realized…relatable...charming. I can see how a teen reading Buttigieg’s book would feel bolstered.”

- The Boston Globe

"Best known as the husband of erstwhile presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, Chasten Buttigieg proves that he is very much his own man in this arresting memoir. . . . [He] records, in fascinating detail, the challenge and occasional lunacy of the campaign trail. Insightful and never dull, this smoothly written book is sure to attract a wide readership.”
