I found "This Is the Night Our House Will Catch Fire" to be somewhat disjointed. While I appreciate the vignette format, some sections felt repetitive and lacked cohesion. However, I did find the chapters discussing his affair compelling and marked by a level of vulnerability that is rare in literature. Unfortunately, these moments weren't enough to elevate the overall experience for me. Please don't hate me, Nick Flynn. I am so sorry; I will try another book. I promise it was me, not you!
