read for Popsugar 2018 challenge: a book you meant to read in 2017 but didn’t get to

This book was so much fun! I'm a big fan of Matt Bellassai's podcasts and videos, and I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't enjoy this book as much when I got this as an ebook rather than an audiobook. Audiobooks are definitely my preferred method of "reading" for memoirs. However, he was just as funny in print! Bellassai really leans into his "I'm not a functional adult schtick" which can be a little exhaustive (from anyone), but I found this book broken up with a nice mix of stories of his childhood and family as well as observations from the world around him. He frequently goes off into little side tangents during his stories, which I found incredibly hilarious and definitely adding to the storytelling. When I read it again, I'll have to get this on audiobook.

I will fight him about how Cheerios aren't a valid cereal, but I will give him a standing ovation for his depiction of dentists/orthodonists as sadistic torturers.
