Craigslist Confessional: A Collection of Secrets from Anonymous Strangers by Helena Dea Bala
3.0
This was my first non-fiction of the year! I was very intrigued by the premise, and was curious what sorts of things people would tell to a stranger. I enjoyed this one but it got super heavy at times, with topics ranging from addiction of different sorts, to miscarriage, to dissolving families. However, there were also some stories of hope and love and acceptance. I liked that each story was written in each person’s manner of speech, and how it added to the individualism of each story. I liked this book overall, it was just more sad than I was expecting. If you’re a fan of the Humans of New York series, you’ll probably like this!
