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

4.0

SO funny! I found myself laughing out loud so many times. But for all that the couple also address the really serious challenges new parents deal with when a new baby enters the scene and the struggles that can cause on the relationship. Moments of this book were very profound and moving. I really enjoyed how they blended their two writing styles: his comedy with her poems to show each of their perspectives becoming new parents. Definitely would recommend this book to anyone expecting a first baby or experiencing the first year growing pains.
