People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Volume 1 by Jen Mann
4.0
"How do you think *I* feel? I just had to ask my mom to insert a tampon for me!" (might not be exact, writing this from memory)
If that made you cringe, maybe don't pick this one up. If that made you laugh (or at least feel intrigued) then give this a go!
Be aware this is just a a few little anecdotes, only 34 pages. There's a full collection you can get if you want more. And if you read this and enjoy it, you'll probably want more. It was enough to make me laugh aloud once or twice in those 34 pages, so that's pretty decent. Most of what was intended to be the funny punchy jokes were stated in the opening, which was sort of weird. When you got to that line in it's intended story, it lost some of it's oomph since you'd read it already. It would probably be better to leave it in the story context for it's first reading. Maybe skip the opening, or read it after reading the stories? All you really need to know is that she's a mouthy, open blogger lady. Aimed a little more towards ladies, as I'm not sure how much guys will be able to understand the realism around getting her first period... because shit happens, but sometimes it's actually blood. xD Wanna get that joke? Read this collection, then it'll all make sense.
I'll probably grab the full book at some point, rather than reading 30 pages at a time. Maybe even check out the blog if I find myself wanting more!
