[Kellie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved Stuff! I found it inspiring, joyful, bittersweet, and affirming. The photographs and layouts are fabulous, and the book gave me a real sense of hope while validating some of the odd choices I’ve made in my life. This is a book I’ll be keeping forever.
