One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter by Scaachi Koul

3.0

A charming, funny collection of essays. Often, though, an overly heavy reliance on humor and jokes, with little attention paid to specificity and stories through scenes, keeps the reader at a distance from the writer. It feels as if we never get too deep into the author's thoughts, her vulnerabilities remaining shielded. There's not much in the way of personal stakes, with preference given instead to explaining rather than showing, making the absence of the author's self notable. Still, I found the book funny and it's definitely an entertaining read.
