Not marking as spoilers because all that was on the book jacket/summary. If you skip those, than skip my review.
This book had moments for me. There were lines I loved and morals of the story I related to. But mostly I found the topics of this set of essays to be depressing. I found that while I understood most of Sedaris’ comments about life during COVID lockdown, it wasn’t something I really enjoyed reading about. Hearing about the final days with a possibly abusing father wasn’t a hoot for me either.
