The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad by Mike Birbiglia

5.0

I didn't plan on reading this book and I'm not even sure how I heard about it, but it was so beautiful that it's one of my favorite this year. Part of that it because I just became a dad, so I'm a little biased. I read it up late at night watching over my daughter as she slept and I highly recommend it for any new parent. It covers what those first few months are like with breathtaking honesty and masterful craft. It's funny and sad (a "dark joy"), like the best things.
