funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

I listened to the audiobook on Libro.fm of Bad Vibes Only: (and Other Things I Bring to the Table) by Nora McInerny. I actually wasn’t familiar with McInerny before picking this up, and was interested mostly because the great cover and funny title appeared right when I was in the mood for essays and a laugh. I did not expect this book to be so touching - I didn’t know that the author’s first husband died of brain cancer, leaving her to deal with such grief while raising her young child at the same time. I mostly listened to this while walking the dog, and alternated between cackling like a weird lunatic while walking alone, and crying, also like a weird lunatic while walking alone. If you want to laugh and be entertained and also feel your feelings, this is a great one for that.
