Quippy and clever and fun, this book lives up to the brilliant title and cover and delivers humor and emotional honesty from a refreshingly empathetic and joyously zany perspective.  

I laughed many times and think the author is funny and observant. Reading this was like watching a stand-up comedy special. 

4⭐
You know it's good when a book makes you want to laugh and cry. 

I came for the laughs, stayed for the insightful and thought-provoking insights of life. This book seemed like it was just going to be a "ha-ha, that's so funny" kind of book; little did I know that it was actually going to hit me in the chest and make me question so much of life. 

Zach Zimmerman's humor is great and poignant. I appreciate his anecdotes on love, mortality, religion, sexuality, and general human existence. There were a lot of times that had me laughing and guffawing, then the next minute, I'm on the brink of tears wanting to call my parents. 

Such an amazing read, highly recommend, very quick, and I can't wait to see if Zimmerman does another book soon.

After listening to a podcast episode with Zach as the guest, I remembered that I had their book sitting in my neverending NetGalley list. While the title has been out in the world for over a year, I finally sat down and read this collection of essays. The essay about their classmate passing in the Virginia Tech shooting was emotional to read and I thought Zimmerman did a fantastic job honoring their late friend. While you can tell that this title was the author’s debut, I would love for them to continue to hone their writing and put out another book!
