Delightful and fun without being fluff, Henry's "This Will Be Funny Someday" explores the ways in which comedy and performance can be vectors for healing and growth. I especially loved Henry's exploration of the often harsh transition to womanhood.
Just one of many lines that made me laugh: "'How do you know they both went to Harvard?' Mom smiles. 'It's like with vegans, sweetheart. They tell you.'" Read it!

Maybe this just wasn't the right book for me right now, but I found Izzy's passivity very grating. Also, the copy editor should be put on notice because I found 4 errors and I only read to page 100.

Loved it. If the stand-up comedy part of the plot didn't pull me in so fast, I would've still read this entire book just to see Isabel break up with her boyfriend. And it would be worth it.
In the end, this book turned out to be much more interesting than I expected. Also, Isabel's family situation and the need for everyone to like her all the time hit a little too close to home, but I love how it was handled.

another random read from my TBR list! This was my second audiobook and I had a better experience this time around. Might catch me doing more audiobooks this year!
Another YA story, which, again, aren’t my favorite. But I could relate/sympathize to some of it as somebody who was once a teenage girl with mommy issues hahah
