The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad by Mike Birbiglia
5.0
If you're a Mike Birbiglia fan, you will love this book, as you've loved all his others. If you've seen his new special, you've also heard most of the stories, as is true with the other books, as well.
I spent most of the book crying - not in a bad way. The love for his wife, the fear of having a child, the reckoning of who he has become...it just hit me hard when I read it over Christmas. I also feel a kinship for Birbigs because we're the same age, and our kids are about the same age.
5 stars. Beautiful. Sad. Funny. Maddening.
