I have a special pet peeve about nonfiction writers who try to cover the deficiencies in their historical research by padding out their books with the dull ups and downs of their romantic relationships. Get a therapist!
Aww, but the human heart is the true mystery! Actually, I don't think I read enough memoir NF for this to be a noticeable problem for me. The main example I can think of is A Moveable Feast, where Hem's infuriating faux naivete about his love life is part of the charm.
The Ordinary Acrobat sounds great, though. Congratulations on being almost done with the Club! I've almost reached my own Mount TBR goal, though I feel like I've probably burned through too many books too quickly as a result.
