Katherine Cobb's writing is thoughtful, witty and fun to read. Her columns will make you think, hope, laugh, sometimes cry but always make you feel good. I can't wait to read her next book! Until then, I'll keep reading her columns.
—Snarkfest, 5 stars on Amazon
This is a great and easy read when you want to feel connected to other human beings navigating life. It is satisfying and secretly somewhat selfish, to read that you are not the only one on the planet whose family drives them crazy, who relishes in secret personal victories or who experiences moments of "is it just me?" The author does not spare any details so that one feels and experiences the sheer honesty of each article. I have read and re-read this lovely piece of writing, as I find something new to which I relate each time I read it.
