The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad by Mike Birbiglia
5.0
My fiancé introduced me to Birbiglia's stand-up a few years back, thinking he has a sense of humor I'd enjoy. He was right and then some! I love all of Birbiglia's works so reading this book was an obvious choice.
It was hilarious and painfully real and wonderful and necessary. It's the perfect blend of humor and seriousness. The topics are ones I don't think we talk about enough. Mike and Clo - her name is Jen - both approach these "difficult" subjects with a raw honesty that's incredibly refreshing. I appreciated how much they shared of their personal lives and their journeys.
It's nice to know you're not the only one who feels these things or thinks these things. The sense of a shared experience that they create with their words is lovely and we need more of it. Plus, I basically laughed out loud the whole time I was reading it!
Go pick this up. Don't wait to experience it's wonderfulness.
