Birbiglia powerfully personifies some of the harshest realities of reluctant/new Dad id, and Stein's poetry grounds the book with whimsy and developing maternal strength. Without both of those parts together, this book might actually be insufferable, but together, it's flawed and fascinating.

I've seen all of Mike Birbiglia's comedy specials and this book was a hilarious and thoughtful follow up - esp since he narrated the audiobook himself!
