Goodbye, Again by Jonny Sun
“Whenever I am in an unfamiliar city, I prefer staying at a friend's. To do so feels like a special kind of knowing them, and a special kind of feeling at home. If a home is who you are, in a way, rendered physically and externally, then to stay at a friend's home is to stay not only with them but also among them, surrounded by this external expression of them.”
GOODBYE, AGAIN
The wonderfully original author of Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too gives us a collection of touching and hilarious personal essays, stories, poems—accompanied by his trademark illustrations—covering topics such as mental health, happiness, and what it means to belong.
Jonny Sun is back with a collection of essays and other writings in his unique, funny, and heartfelt style. The pieces range from long meditations on topics like loneliness and being an outsider, to short humor pieces, conversations, and memorable one-liners.

It also features a recipe for scrambled eggs that might make you cry.
Review
Reading this one felt like a true gift. I listened to the audiobook as well. Jonny's voice is so soothing, I felt like I could have listened to him all day, his voice was like a lullaby to my ears. It was so beautiful and enhanced the entire reading experience. I felt like his personality shines through completely in the audio.
