I recently laughed so hard watching Tom Papa stand up comedy on TV that I could hardly breathe. I have no idea how many tissues I used to mop up the tears of laughter streaming from my eyes. Now that I’ve discovered 3 books of Tom Papa’s essays I know he is much more than a very funny guy. If you read We’re All in This Together you’ll see what I mean. Yes, there’s definitely humor in his writing, but also comforting reassurance that we all screw up sometimes and just do what we can to make the best of things. Two thumbs way up for author Tom Papa!

I really enjoyed these essays from one of the best comedians around, Tom Papa. He was funny and relatable, and I laughed a lot.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley. The author wrote humorous essays that can easily relate to the reader. It was easy to follow and the writer kept you interested and invested in the book. Would read more from the author

This was cute and funny, some of the stories were definitely laugh out loud funny, especially those about growing up in NJ, my home state and where I still live. Plus we're the same age so the stories have a lot of relevance for me! The only downside is that I will say it seemed to be a little long, a few of the stories towards the end weren't connecting with me as much as those in the beginning. All in all, a good read to put you in a good mood.

Tom Papa is one of my very favorite comedians and this book didn’t disappoint!

The way Tom tells stories is unlike no other and was absolutely a joy to read! I worried some humor would get lost in written form, but that wasn’t the case at all!

Great variety of stories. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for the purpose of this review. I’m giving it four stars. I liked the wide range of collected essays.

This was a cute and fun collection of pick-me-up stories designed to bring a smile (both genuine and snarky) to your face. I want familiar with him prior to this, but his mass appeal is easy to understand. His writing is relevant, approachable, and clever. I couldn't read large swathes at a time - there's a feeling of similarity after a while, especially I felt with the early pieces - but a few here and there were just the thing I needed after a long day to bring a smile to my face.

life sucks and sometimes you just need a good laugh. thank you tom papa for bringing some joy in dark times. thanks netgalley & the publisher for the ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

We're All in This Together by Tom Papa was my first experience of this author, and I must say that I can certainly understand his mass appeal. This collection of short essays is collectively witty, sharply observed, relatable, and guaranteed to leave you with a smile. I look forward to reading much more from this delightful author. 4.5 stars

Many thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for an ARC.

"We're All in This Together" is an absolutely sublime title for the latest book of observational and humorous short essays by comedian, actor, radio host, and author Tom Papa whose book "You're Doing Great!" revealed the comic's gift for literary humor that tackles universal themes with a personal touch.

The same is very much true for "We're All in This Together," a collection of 37 essays addressing such topics as drinking, pets, date nights, unfamiliar hotel rooms, and ducking your family even though you love them. While there's some thematic overlap with Papa's comedy, for the most part "We're All in This Together" offers fresh material from a refreshingly funny and surprisingly heartfelt comic whose background ranges from SiriusXM radio shows to two Rob Zombie-directed comedy specials (plus 3-4 others) to a wide range of television and film appearances.

If you know Tom Papa, you love Tom Papa.

While Papa occasionally tackles a political topic or two, it's typically from a more personal angle with the vast majority of "We're All in This Together" material finding its roots in family live with his wife and two children and his unique humor that somehow is both empathetic and often quite pointed. Papa's a comic who unites, not as a political statement or position but as a human being who seems to genuinely want to build a longer table. Papa's podcast "Breaking Bread with Tom Papa" is evidence of this and it's a spirit that poignantly and hilariously comes to life in this genuinely engaging and entertaining collection of essays.

If you've never listened to Papa's Netflix radio show with Fortune Feimster, "What a Joke," it's an absolute must. Quite simply, at least for me, Papa has become one of my "go to" comedians who never disappoints no matter the medium.

It doesn't hurt that Tom Papa is infinitely relatable. He's the kind of guy who feels like a BFF, admittedly a BFF who'd likely hide from you in the grocery aisle if he noticed you first.

But hey, he's far from my only friend who does that.

"We're All in This Together" features, once again, everything we've come to know and love about and from Papa. With heart and humor, Papa's 37 essays essentially respond to the call put forth by the book's title - "We're All in This Together ... So Make Some Room."

This is my first book that I have read by Tom Papa and certainly will not be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this laugh out loud book of short essays that made me smile as I was digesting his humor. Highly recommended to all fans of humor, bravo Tom!

LOVED! Big fan of Tom Papa, and I forget just how great he is until I see a new special or in this case, read his book. He's just so funny, and even though I don't have kids, I still love his stories about his family. Filled with short essays, I just couldn't get enough of this book. HIGHLY recommended to anyone and everyone!
