Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern

5.0

Such a good read. I should have looked this one up sooner. I will preface this review by saying I typically don't go for comedy books so I decided to branch out and read more from this particular genre. I also have crippling MDD (major depressive disorder) and panic disorder so I needed something to get me of this "funk" that I've been in for quite some time.

I learned about this one from a Facebook Goodreads group and I decided that I needed a good laugh. I don't regret it and I'm looking at picking up some more of Justin Halpern's work.

Obviously, as referred to in the title, Justin's father is the star of the book. I caught myself laughing out loud at several sections of the book (see the chapters about Angus and the rose bush and Justin's family eating like the underprivileged). My own father (rest in peace) had "way with words" but not quite like Justin's dad. Great stuff.

If you need a pick me up and don't mind the F bomb dropped CONSTANTLY, then this is the book for you. I can't recommend it enough.
