I would say a 3.5 for this book. I listened to the audiobook and Maeve reads it herself. Maeve does a good job. Every time Maeve is on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, I know I am in for a laugh. I expected the book to be funnier. It was still good and talks about immigration in a powerful way.

Cute. But nowhere near as funny as she is on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. That said, I’ll probably still read her other books.

3.5 really. LOL and ROL (read out loud) funny while also being poignant, thoughtful, and so honestly human. Recommend to any introspective, observant and funny woman. Especially those who may soon be moving somewhere unfamiliar, work in the arts, or have self-doubt, so that pretty much covers everyone, right?

Entertaining stories about an Irish comedian with some focus on immigration. Amusing, but can take a serious note.

The deal: Maeve Higgins is a comedian and podcaster. This is a series of her essays, about everything from immigration to shelter dogs. I heard about it on Forever 35, where she was a guest.
.
Is it worth it?: Sure. While not exactly life-changing, Higgins has a ton of range, and there’s definitely something for everyone. In short, I’d call it cute and smart.
.
Pairs well with: exasperation with the U.S. visa process, butter, a dress from Rent The Runway
