- There's no sophomore slump for R. Eric Thomas with CONGRATULATIONS, THE BEST IS OVER! Thomas continues to be over the top funny while maintaining heart and thoughtfulness.
- I think this collection shows that Thomas is not just a gimmicky columnist, but an essayist with staying power. His ruminations on trying to build the life you want while reckoning with your past are so personal and still widely relatable.
- Honestly, where else are you going to find essays about being Black in America and about inadvertently hosting gay frogs in your yard in the same book? Nowhere else, that's where.
- I do also recommend the audiobook (thanks @prhaudio!) if you read via audio. Thomas does the narration and it's a delight.
