Book 81: Please Don't Sit on My Bed in Your Outside Clothes: Essays by Phoebe Robinson

I needed an audio book that was lighter than the books I had been reading. Enjoyed the last book by Phoebe Robinson that I listened to and this title grabbed my attention. Also this is book 18 for the #20booksbyblackwomen challenge hosted by @melantedreader.

Synopsis: New York Times bestselling author, comedian, actress, and producer Phoebe Robinson is back with a new essay collection that is equal parts thoughtful, hilarious, and sharp about human connection, race, hair, travel, dating, Black excellence, and more.

Review: Score! Narrated by Phoebe Robinson this book has her characteristic humor. This was the right book, at the right time. While the essays are funny, Phoebe tackles serious issues as well. I think the essay about her and her boyfriend, British Bakeoff (that is her code name for him), having to endure each other during quarantining and the Don’t sit on my bed essay were my favorites. I totally agree about not sitting on the bed in your outside clothes, especially if the bed is unmade. My rating 4⭐️.
