A review by ryannmarchetti
Best to Laugh by Lorna Landvik
5.0
This book reads like a memoir. Candy feels real. She starts doing stand-up in the 70's after moving to LA to escape being stuck in her grief. Even though she starts it because she kind of fell into it, she immediately falls in love with, sets goals, works hard, and succeeds.
It made me so happy to read this. I devoured this book. It was so juicy for me to read about her knocking on her neighbors door and asking for sugar, sitting by the pool and just broaching a conversation with someone and finding a friend group from those things. I love Candy. I long to travel back to the 70's and be her.
Maybe I enjoyed this book because it's what I want out of my life or maybe I enjoyed it because it was written in a really raw, amazing, genuine way. But I think you might like it too.
