Naked in the Rideshare: Stories of Gross Miscalculations by Ben Kronengold, Rebecca Shaw

4.0

So ridiculous! On a good way. From page 1 I laughed at the absurdity til I choked, repeatedly. Reading it feels like watching a spot-on stand-up routine crossed with those awkward open mic nights where people read their high school diaries. From their hypothetical hipster battle not-so-royale to Caesar being relieved everyone was just regicidal, not hanging out without him, the stories are delightfully zany. The virtuoso authors can take a horror movie throw away line like "see you in hell" and spin into the start of a beautifully bizarre afterlife friendship between slaughtered and slaughterer. They aren't all winners, but a solid percentage are literal-lol funny.
