I read One Last Question Before You Go in one sitting on a rainy day and I really, really loved it. Kyle Thiermann rips through family history with surfer grit and a reporter’s curiosity, and his writing is so vivid it pulls you straight into the ride.

The book is part wild memoir, part how-to manual, and all heart. Kyle weaves absurd road stories with twenty-seven razor-sharp questions that can crack open your own family’s vault. It is not just about recording memories, it is about re-wiring how we see the people who raised us.

Funny, raw, and unexpectedly moving, this is not a book you skim and forget. It is the kind of book that makes you want to call your parents and reminds you that they are not just 'your parents' They had entire lives before us, and those stories are worth asking about.
