People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Competitive Crafters,
Drop-Off Despots, and Other Suburban Scourges by Jen Mann
This book cracked me up and after reading a few serious
books in a row it was just what I needed, I laughed out loud many, many times
while reading this book and saw people and situations that I recognized as my
own. And how could you pass up this title!
One of the chapters that cracked me up was ‘Just some of the
reasons the neighbors always hate us’
this one made me laugh because at my house we are a bit anti-social and
seem to have major differences politically plus have a hard time not commenting
on things like “You paid thirteen grand for a dog to have surgery?” this
chapter hit close to home!
As a mother and grandmother I also have to wonder about
these theme birthday parties and spending hundreds of dollars to throw your kid
a party, whatever happened to birthday parties at home with a cake and pin the
tail on the donkey now it can’t be at home and it has to have a theme why?? When
did this start?? This chapter hit home too.
Oh who the hell am I kidding this book is full of snarky
goodness and sounded like all the things I say inside my head but don’t always
have the courage to say out loud!
If you are a fan of Laurie Notaro and/or Celia Rivenbark
then this is a must read!
4 Stars
I received this book from Netgalley and the publisher for a
fair and honest review.
