4 stars
I started this book with absolutely no idea what it was about or anything about the author, and so was pleasantly surprised when during the first essay, the author talks about the darkly funny but unpleasant task of telling her college age friends that she has cancer. It is about an obviously traumatic time in her life but it is so funny, even laugh out loud funny. Erin Chack is a writer for Buzzfeed and has a healthy sense of humor towards her life and her work. I really enjoyed most of this essay collection. She does write from a very "millennial" point of view, which meant that I (a gen-Xer) didn't always find the over-the-top anecdotes amusing, but I am really excited to read future collections from this author. I received this from Penguin's First to Read Program in exchange for an honest review.
