✨️ Augusten Burroughs is brilliantly insane in the best possible way—uproariously funny, deliciously profane, and fearlessly bold. "Possible Side Effects" had me laughing until my stomach hurt and gasping for air.
Being funny is no easy feat, but Burroughs effortlessly turns even the most mundane, unjust, or sorrowful subjects into sparkling gold with his writing.
Fair warning: "Possible Side Effects" delves into Augusten's dysfunctional family, childhood struggles, addiction, adult challenges, and touches on social critiques, including some coarse scenes and topics that may not align with everyone's moral standards.
This book is the perfect stopgap for when you just need a good laugh without diving into something complex. It's effervescent comedy with vibrant, relatable characters. 👊
