A brand-new collection of hilarious and insightful personal essays by the iconic Sloane Crosley. Following the success of her bestseller, this book showcases Crosley's signature charm and wit, which have garnered her widespread acclaim and a loyal fanbase. In her previous work, readers were introduced to her life in New York City, where she navigated the contrasts of glamorous parties, entry-level jobs, and suburban nostalgia, all delivered through a unique voice reminiscent of Dorothy Parker and David Sedaris. Now, as a seasoned New Yorker, Crosley takes us on adventures beyond the Upper West Side, exploring Paris, Portugal—where she hilariously connects with a group of clowns—and Alaska, where a grizzly cub disrupts a wedding. Back in New York, her relationships and experiences are more layered, reflecting the complexities of adulthood. Crosley's writing remains infused with her trademark humor, optimism, and flair for drama, but it has also evolved into a more sophisticated and sharp exploration of emotions. Despite the challenges of maturity, she continues to embody the relatable young Everywoman, equipped with intelligence and poise to navigate life's ups and downs.
