A sometimes hilarious, occasionally heartbreaking, and always entertaining joint memoir by Joseph Fink, cocreator of Welcome to Night Vale, and his wife, writer and performer Meg Bashwiner, chronicling the first ten years of their relationship from both sides. There are two sides to every love stor
“In this candid, soul-baring memoir, Joseph and Meg recount their first ten years together, each telling their story as they remember it, without having consulted the other. We hear both sides of their first kiss, first breakup, first getting back together, the death of a father, marriage, international fame, world tours, mental illness, and discussions about having children. Sometimes, they recall things differently—neither agrees on who paid for the morning after pill on their first date. Sometimes they remember the exact same details in the same way—but still have their own narrative on just what those details mean.”
This is so romantic! A must have for all the Megseph shippers, for sure. I love the concept of a real life love story told by both partners without consulting each other. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a book with this concept before. I’ve only ever read/watched 2-minute plays by Meg, so it will be really interesting to read her writing in a longer format. Meg and Joseph obviously have a very strong relationship, and the book might contain some good advice on how to keep a relationship going. Or it might just be specific to Meg and Joseph’s lives. Either way, I can’t wait to read this!
The book is out on May 11.
