saddest comedy book + be off putting it’s fun
this book makes me thinking about life aging and being old in a good and bad way. leik the mix of reminiscing over the old memories as time flies by and how silly ppl were growing up and how fast they memories can vanish and the silly hopefull quirks of aging it’s a delightful combo.
i read this and think wow he’s getting old and has lived life truly. then i continue reading abt the absolutely unhinged shit he’s doing as a old man and I’m just leik holy shit someone lock him up 😭😹😹😹. it’s so funny tho bc he’ll be leik yeah time flies so cherish the present to when ur old u just gotta win the idgaf war and try to feed turtles your tumor, talk crazy to ppl, and walk 150000 steps a day collecting roadkill.
fr tho i love sedaris writing leik it’s just so easy to breeze through and it’s tender and silly
i always say reading his books are leik talking to a friend leik the good typa friends that u can not see for leik weeks and leik it’ll be fine u guys still besties yk
its esp nice when he drops some odd fact and ur leik oh yeah he’s said something abt this in a past book and this buzzard fact he just dropped no longer fazes me leik it rly makes me feel connected to the writer as a reader kinda explaining the whole his books are leik a convo with a friend
i could not read his work for a year then pick up a book of his and be embraced by the familiarity of his odd bizarre personality

book was freaky asf
BRUUU i freaking HATED Kendall leik yes ik this is a silly smut book AND IT SHOULD BE JUST THAT
fr tho lemme explain
leik i hate how the book would go from he tryna smash to randomly going POC power i love minorities 😝🫶 to he licked my cooch LEIK I FEEL LEIK THESE TWO GENRES HAVE A TIME AND PLACE
leik genuinly what in white savior writing was that shit it annoyed me sm leik no where in the plot did it call for Kendall having to be leik ik so sorry for stereotyping u as a strong black woman 🥺 to her roommate LEIK THAT WAS NEVER IN THE PLOT AND THE MENTION OF WHITE GIRL TEARS I WAS LEIK BOYY STFU leik that moment was so unnecessary and gave nothing to the plot so why include it?
unless the story is abt the transformational sex life of a poc (which it isn’t) why are we talking abt this bitch Kendall and her facing this internal racism bs 😭😭
leik what irks me is that the story follows a white woman who has poc roomates and alr another white mc which leik wat ever the wittier is white idgaf but it’s so blatant the way they write poc is so just othering yk
but again leik poc characters in the story are so forcefully there for the writer to show some sort of progressiveness leik these poc characters couldn’t have a regular character life they just had to be leik activists or sum leik the plot is pushed by a white female with poc roomates who serve to be poc and talk abt their struggles and their experiences as if poc characters can’t be written with any other type of character? idk if I’m making sense but it’s just leik a white bitch writing poc characters that’s where it went wrong in the first place.
it’s just so forceful the whole progressive thing that it screams white savior IN A FUCKINF SMUT BOOK TOO LEIK JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT OMG
