The Witches of Moonshyne Manor, by Bianca Marais

medium-paced

3.25

3.0

A mix of enjoyable and cringeworthy- perhaps our senses of humor are not as compatible as Sedaris ages. Some real boomer energy in here as he expands to more social commentary than in previous books.

Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.0

Not sure I would have loved this book as much if I read the print version- I think Meryl Streep made the narrator a lot more endearing to hear her humor out loud. Thoughtful, funny, great food writing. Less great at non-white characters, those parts seem very dated.
