Critics Review
“The poignant exploration of a life broken open by tragedy, MacCulloch takes readers on a vulnerable journey across cultures to find a defining sense of self. Written with visceral, breathtaking prose, You Do Not Have To Be Good carries us—body and soul—into the heart of MacCulloh’s impassioned search for meaning, and, ultimately, love. A riveting account of loss, sex, conflict, and beauty that is impossible to put down.”
—Laura Whitfield, author of Untethered: Faith, Failure, and Finding Solid Ground
“A dazzling, reverent memoir, You Do Not Have to Be Good is about living fully in one’s body and one’s history. MacCulloch renders in gorgeous prose her journey across Europe, as she strives to understand her father’s death and her own wild heart. Through grief and desire, she leads us ever closer to the sublime.”
—Megan Kruse, author of Call Me Home
