5.0

Kristen Arnett has a way of writing that hits me right in the funnies. So many wild scenarios, while also covering some dark and definitely serious topics. This book has the main character getting chased out of a kids’ birthday party in clown costume and also the realization that her mother is a whole person. It’s just something Arnett does so well. Thinking back, it feels like this book did so much with a pretty short page count, building the main character’s relationship with her mom - and relationship to women her mom’s age, her work and friends, it’s all so good. I highly recommend the audiobook, Cameron Esposito was a PERFECT narrator for Cherry.
