The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad by Mike Birbiglia

4.0

Contains many humorous observations about parenting, many of which I found deeply relatable and had me laughing out loud. This material would make for a very enjoyable audiobook, and I felt like I got the full experience of the story and Birbiglia's experiences when I watched his Netflix comedy special that shares the same name after finishing the book. Although I wasn't particularly impressed by Stein's accompanying poetry as a whole, I liked getting the journey of adjusting to life with a child from both members of the couple and there is occasionally a poem with a bit more bite or resonance.
