If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries What Am I Doing in the Pits? by Erma Bombeck

3.0

This was an okay humor sort of self-help book. Obviously having been written 50 years ago, there were a lot of dated jokes that might have gone over my head and definitely a lot of dated sentiments that I couldn't find myself laughing at; however, there were some touching moments. The last chapter discusses watching your parents age and reckoning with the fact that they always took care of you and now you're taking care of them. I thought that was timeless and sentimental. An okay read but definitely one that will be lost on most modern readers.
