This wasn't really my kind of humor. I usually laugh at ridiculous stuff and enjoy it but this seemed like very niche and hipster humor. I did really enjoy the stabbyhands story though. Wasn't for me.

Naked in the Rideshare: Stories of Gross Miscalculations Rebecca Shaw & Ben Kronengold ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A big thanks to @netgalley and @williammorrowbooks for the eARC. Pub day is tomorrow (11/14)! 🎉

This year I’ve tried to read more short stories/essay collections. I’m not really sure why I decided this, but it’s something that I have looked for this year. When I saw this was a collection of humorous essays, I knew I wanted to check it out.

I would describe the humor as quirky and out of the box. I giggled through some of the essays, and some were just so out there that I’m sure I wasn’t the target audience. However, I did find this to be a quick, entertaining read that was on the lighter side.

All in all, fans of quirky humor will enjoy these short stories!

**Urgent note to authors**
Please do not sleep, eat or bathe until another book like this one is in my greedy little hands!!!
I truly wasn’t sure what to expect here, not typically a fan of short story collections, but oh. my. lanta - this just created a love affair anew. The snark, the tongue-in-cheek, the “Heeeeyyy, did they bug my life for this one??” I was also a smidge concerned that age disparity might be a hurdle, as I’m old enough to be their parents, but nope: this humor transcends all age.
Does everyone do like me & watch Mike Judge’s “Idiocracy” at least once a year & think “Holy Prophetic Poop Nuggets - this is our world?!” If so, stop reading this review & grab this pronto. If still unsure, finish this review & THEN go grab.
This comedy duo are added to my “faves” & I want to go find every script, joke, bathroom-wall-missive they’ve ever penned. While some of the stories are ROFLMAO, some are “snicker & snort” funny, some are pretty introspective, ALL of them are great. The “Fun Guy” piece made me think that’s exactly how my grown daughter & son-in-law would be with their new Bestie drug dealer…. “The BuzzFeed Orgy” snicker-snorting through…. All the characters are freakin’ relatable &/or entertaining.

Pick this up, y’all - you can thank me later! & you 2? Get back to work on another please!

This might just be me but I didn’t get it. I feel like this book could be the Oscars movie that won and no one knows why and you feel bad that you don’t get it. Obviously these two are funny if they write for Fallon, but I don’t think they can fill a book successfully. Too bad, I was looking forward to it.

This book was really funny to start with, but as with all short story collections you will resonate with some stories and not the others. The writing is great. The stories are very easy to follow, and I can definitely appreciate that from both of the authors/comedians. I will definitely look forward to any more books they have, and keep out for their shows.
