Alright, listen up, because I’ve got a whole vibe to share with you—The Book of Witty Women? Honey, this book was everything I didn’t know I needed. First off, the title? Genius. I loved it. It had me at “witty,” and the second I opened this collection, I knew I was in for a good time. You better believe it’s a ride.

This book is packed with 15 of the funniest, most fierce women writers out here, and let me tell you, they’ve come to deliver—laugh-out-loud stories with all the sass, charm, and comedy that will make you want to read them again and again. We’ve got tales of love gone wrong, awkward situations, and that relatable chaos we all know too well. These women are serving up humor with no apologies, and I’m here for it.

What’s inside? Glad you asked, darling:
✨ Hilarious takes on life—these stories are like a mic drop of realness and humor. They’ll have you laughing, snorting, and maybe even texting your bestie, like, “This is SO us!”

💋 Bold & unapologetic women—because these women are funny, fierce, and they’re not asking for permission to speak their minds. They take the stage.
😂 Laugh-out-loud humor—it’s witty, it’s sharp, it’s real, and it’s definitely going to make you snicker in public, just like I did.

The diversity of voices is chef’s kiss—from Helen Lederer’s classic wit to Josie Long’s cheeky charm, each story brings something fresh and fabulous. It’s like having a roundtable of your funniest, most clever girlfriends telling you the best stories over cocktails.

Final verdict? If you’re ready to laugh, giggle, and snort your way through a collection of stories that’ll leave you in stitches, The Book of Witty Women is a MUST. Don’t sleep on it, darling. Trust me—this one’s a keeper.

The book of Witty Women

I loved this book, perfect to pick up when in need of a smile. 15 Short stories by different female authors.
I liked all of them but i think Go your own way’ by Kimberly Adams was my favourite, I adored Nanna

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the authors for the arc

There were two good stories in this book, I thought the dog dating one was well written however the rest were not to much taste and I struggled to finish.

Thank you for the arc.

One of the best books I’ve ever read. It had all the elements of a great read. I was shocked, humored, upset, and melancholy, all at the same time!! I will definitely read more of these author’s books!!!

Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

absolutely hilarious, some fantastic stories by some hilarious authors. Was great being able to read lots of short stories which were all well written in such short spaces and really made me laugh

I think I should have just waited for this to come out in physical copy, I do love me a nonfic anthology/collection but not usually digitally.

I enjoyed most of the stories from this book but was really anticipating more humor from it overall. They all have funny parts/wittiness within them, but I feel like what some would find funny when reading others might not. I liked the story from Lucy Vine the most and enjoy her style of writing. This is a quick and fun read, and I would recommend it to others looking for something to read between longer or more heavier topic books.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

This was a laugh out loud collection of short stories from a wealth of female comedy writers.

This is the perfect collection if you need a boost and a giggle. It is so easy to pick it up and read a story as they are varying lengths and can be devoured in no time. I would wholeheartedly recommend this collection to everyone!

First of all thank you for approving my request!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The authors writing style had me hooked throughout this book.

I didn't want it to end, a book I really couldn't put down.

I Love anthologies! A collection of short stories from a bunch of new authors I know have the pleasure of getting to know? Sign me up!
And now that you know this about me, you'll know how sad I am to say that this book just didn't hit the spot for me. A few too many of the stories kind of fell flat, unfortunately, which isn't enought to make me truly upset about this book (!) but it is enough that I can't give it too high of a rating.
I do think that The Book of Witty Women is worth checking out, as mine and your tastes probably don't match up perfectly and perhaps you'll like the stories I thought were slow or missing character – and you'll probably still enjoy the stories I thought were interesting and thought provoking.

Princess Fuzzypants here: I am a fan of anthologies. I like the variety and the ability to devour the book in bite sized chunks. There are always stories I like better than others but this was one anthology that I found the spread between those I liked and disliked was mammoth. Some of them were self deprecating and funny. I enjoy that kind of humour which I think is very much a female trait. Some of the stories were hard to get through. They were not funny but very harsh or nasty. It was not something that I expected from the title.

Humour, like tastes of any kind, are highly subjective. So what I did not like might be someone else’s cup of tea. Even though there were stories that did turn me off, the ones I liked, such as the 50th birthday story, were so delightful, I can still recommend the book but with a lower rating. Three purrs and two paws up.

These stories were interesting and varried greatly by author. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC! There wasn't as much comedy as I was expecting but they were still enjoyable to read.

This book was disappointing. Most of the stories were not particularly witty, and I never laughed out loud once. I know humor is subjective, but this really was oversold.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I have been putting off my review because I struggled with the stories. The ladies were clever but I didn't think the stories were funny. Funny is so subjective, and they just didn't hit me that way. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

The Book of Witty Women is an engaging anthology comprising 15 stories written by talented women authors. Each story offers a delightful and brisk reading experience, brimming with memorable characters and laugh-out-loud moments. The collection stands out for its ability to create lasting impressions, with characters and scenarios that linger in the reader's mind long after finishing the book. This anthology is an excellent choice for anyone seeking light-hearted yet impactful literature. It makes a perfect literary gift, particularly for a book-loving friend, providing both entertainment and a showcase of remarkable female voices in contemporary storytelling.

I expected to enjoy this book a bit more than I did. I liked the concept of it but it just didn’t quite hit the mark for me personally.

A mixed bag of humorous stories by women. Some are funnier than other, almost all are witty.
3.5 upped to 4
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A collection of great short stories by a variety of authors. A great introduction to some new authors for me.

This is probably the best book I have read all year. Short stories by genuinely funny women. I can't even pick a favourite!
