Yes, the author is writing about his own experience.

book 2:
read in december, still count?"Yes, book 1 has "me", book 2 is a memoir. Books read during the challenge Dec 1 2016 - Feb 28, 2017 work.
Will this work for book 2:
It has two authors who were pen pals growing up, the basis of the story, but there is a third person too (person a and person b "with" person c). Does her presence disqualify this book?

From the description it is not the memoir of the "c" author and it does not look like it works.

That's what I figured...
Would When Breath Becomes Air work for Book 2? Abraham Verghese is listed as the author of the Foreword, but the book is written by Paul Kalanithi, with the Epilogue by his wife. The book is about Paul's life before and after his terminal cancer diagnosis.
Mod
Yes, that would work. Foreword authors are not co-authors.
