Agorafabulous!: Dispatches from My Bedroom by Sara Benincasa

3.0

My favorite part of this book (yes, like I'm writing a 5th grade book report) was that feeling of connection at the end, with the cab-driver who was just diagnosed with panic disorder. And the story with the kid who'd take Viagra, and how she broke the rules for him. Both are stories where Benincasa isn't trying to be funny, necessarily, and about human connection outside her house. The rewards for going on recovering, I guess.

I could really sympathize with the author. The copy compares her to Tina Fey, and I'd buy that, in that there were some privileged jokes (I'm thinking of the one about foreigners) that threw me out of the book, but I kept reading because I was invested.
