Synopsis

Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two?This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that’s aiming a bit high.)This book is a cup of hot coffee, a ginormous bar of chocolate, or the magical fairy that comes over and does your dishes while you lie in the fetal position clutching a fluffy pillow.Sometimes when life falls apart the only acceptable response is hysterical laughter. When things get so far gone, so spectacularly a world away from any plans you made or dreams you dreamed, you feel it bubbling up inside of you and you scream, “It’s not fair!” And it isn’t. Fair is an illusion, and life is weird.This book will help you laugh at life’s absurd backhands. This book is an empathetic groan of our collective unfairnesses. You might want to throw it across the room, and you might want to hug it like your new best friend. This book is about us sitting down together in our shared mess, taking a deep breath, gripping hands, looking the hard stuff in its beady little eyeballs, and bahahahaaing at it.Life’s not fair, but we can learn to love this life we didn’t choose.

It revives ones faith in God, a book everyone can relate to. I am going to give it a five star for the simplicity of it. And f.r.i.e.n.d.s references are cherry on top. I wish it had more of them.......more

Goodreads review by Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads) on March 10, 2019

This book is like the friend you call up when you're sick of trying to figure out how to deal with your problems and you need to go out and eat chocolate with someone who will make you laugh and be sassy and kind of uncomfortably honest about how hard it is to deal with problems and freely admits s......more

Goodreads review by Kim on August 19, 2016

This book kind of wrecked me in a good way. Melanie shares her heart about all of her experiences with infertility and adoption and forming a family from brokenness. You get insight into how she feels going through all these things and you feel like it will all be okay that you've had the same feeli......more

As previously noted, this book came to me via Austin's Random Book Picking Method. Austin has been my friend forever now. And when I need new books, I use my big ol' Goodreads database and ask him for a page and a number and he picks until we get something. I needed an audiobook and he got this (fro......more
