A glimpse of life in essays is a sub-genre that I’ve been loving more of in the past few years & that’s what made me pick up this book。 I love authors describing normal snippets of life in a way that makes the mundane feel fresh to me again。 Most of the books I’ve read like this have been written by white， middle-aged women and seem a bit more earnest or focused on a lesson they’re pointing toward。 Jason’s essays were not without this， but did seem overall to be a bit more light-hearted and rand A glimpse of life in essays is a sub-genre that I’ve been loving more of in the past few years & that’s what made me pick up this book。 I love authors describing normal snippets of life in a way that makes the mundane feel fresh to me again。 Most of the books I’ve read like this have been written by white， middle-aged women and seem a bit more earnest or focused on a lesson they’re pointing toward。 Jason’s essays were not without this， but did seem overall to be a bit more light-hearted and random at times。 I laughed multiple times while reading this， especially during anecdotes about parenting his children。 Not every single essay would be 5⭐️s to me separately， as I definitely enjoyed some more than others， but I just so loved this collection as a whole。 There were multiple times I wanted to find someone around me and force them to read the chapter I had just read so I could have someone to chuckle with over an observation Jason made that I knew to be true as soon as I read it。 And that is one of the best signs of a good book to me。*Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for an Advanced Reader’s Copy。 。。。more

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This is a collection of stories and observations about parenthood， travel， and other experiences。 Most of the stories are fairly short and focused around a theme。 While this collection wasn't quite for me and felt a little over the top at times， I can see why the stories would resonate with some people。 Overall an interesting find。 I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This is a collection of stories and observations about parenthood， travel， and other experiences。 Most of the stories are fairly short and focused around a theme。 While this collection wasn't quite for me and felt a little over the top at times， I can see why the stories would resonate with some people。 Overall an interesting find。 。。。more
