5.0
I really loved Elizabeth Passarella's humor and approach to real every day life in her first book of essays, Good Apple, so I was very excited to get this one and it did not disappoint.
Reading this is like curling up on a rooftop next to a girlfriend you haven't connect with in a while and talking over drinks and snacks way past when you intended to. But the stories and company are too good for you to even consider going to bed. You dive into every topic and they weave in and out of the story they started to tell, as you chase rabbit trails of topics as you catch up on the time since you were last together. But you keep returning ng to that one crazy story because you can't get enough of the details.
So if you want those friend catch up vibes and if you like to read about the topics below, pick this one up!
-life in NYC
-short essays
-faith
-stories about grief, health issues, family, and friendship
-biographies and memoirs
-unlikely friends
-community
-pandemic contemplations
-slice of life stories
-reminiscing and nostalgic musings
-motherhood reflections
