Are you Kidding Me?! Lesley Crewe?!!!!!! Have you been living in my house and watching my life unfold? This book is hilarious. Each and every story a delight. An author who sees the humor in every situation and writes about it with wit and candor. My only criticism is that this book didn't have even more stories.

What can I say? I laughed out loud so hard I couldn’t read the passages to my husband.

This book is a series of articles written by Leslie Crewe in newspaper and magazine articles. The author covers a variety of topics.

The book is laid out in short sections that make it perfect for reading when you only have a couple of minutes at a time.

This is a must have book. Even if you read her columns previously, you must get this book and reread them. You will not regret it.

I dare you to not laugh while reading this book!


I received an ARC from Nimbus Publishing through NetGalley. This does not affect my opinion or rating of this book. I am voluntarily submitting this book.

This was an enjoyable read that I read in small bits and pieces. The humor may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it!

I've enjoyed many of Crewe's fiction and being a Nova Scotian, I appreciate that she is a local author and writes about the area I live in. This collection of her columns was humorous and I really enjoyed a lot of the stories - even laughing out loud at times. I'm not quite her target demographic but I still enjoy her writing immensely and I know that this collection will resonate with a lot of fellow Atlantic Canadians.

I think this sounds like a great title; unfortunately I had problems with the download. I think it must have been a technical difficulty; the ARC's are unedited of course, but this was illegible. Repeating words, missing letters, etc.

This book made me literally laugh out. This book is comprised of columns written by the author on a variety of topics. I really enjoyed picking up and putting this book down whenever I felt like it as it was easier to just read a few columns at a time. The columns are really relatable and enjoyable to read.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

I wasn't a fan of this book... Unfortunately. I'm not sure who the target audience is.. but it wasn't me. I wasnt' able to finish the book.

Are You Kidding Me ?! is a humorous and honest look at the world. There will chuckle and you might relate to a couple of things.

I tried to get into this but couldn't finish it. After 30 pages I decided it was too judgemental for me. I realize that i'm probably not the target audience - and am indeed quite younger. But geeze.

Description
For the first time, bestselling novelist, columnist, and humorist Lesley Crewe's finest newspaper columns are collected in one place.

Not merely razor sharp, Lesley's wit is also ocean wide, taking in everything from the humiliations of breast pumping to the indignities of aging, from the frantic excess of holiday preparations to the homey irritations of a long marriage.

As precise in her observations as Jane Austen and as fractious on occasion as Oscar the Grouch, Crewe also has a sweet, tender centre, taking us from a hearty laugh to a good cry in a single paragraph. Readers will relate to Crewe's ache at missing her mom, her nostalgia for her childhood, her frustrations at raising teenagers, and her impatience for terrible parking lot etiquette in equal measure. The book spans sixteen years' worth of columns for The Cape Bretoner Magazine, Cahoots Magazine, and The Chronicle Herald.

Are You Kidding Me?! is a side-splitting, heartwarming, Cape Breton–flavoured celebration of the little things.


Thank you, NetGalley for the advance copy to review. Unfortunately, I was unable to download the book. I DNR.
