funny

4.0
Fran is my kind of person.
Her sense of humor is witty, dry, and smart. Her complaining is downright hilarious and enjoyable to read. I only wish I could catch her skulking outside smoking just once in my life. I like to imagine that I would comment to her about someone's irritating behavior across the street. She would affirm my irritation, of course, and, leaning in, confide in me that she, too, could think of 100 better ways to do what the poor sap was doing.
I consumed the first half of this via the audiobook and the second half via paperback. It's fun to hear her narrate her own writing, but it's a much slower listen than it is a read.
