The hilarious New York Times bestselling literary essay collection from Sloane Crosley, the author of I Was Told There'd Be Cake.

In I Was Told There’d Be Cake, readers met Sloane Crosley, a young Manhattan urbanite who aimed for the stars and hit the ceiling. Now she packs up her sensibility and takes us with her to Paris, to Portugal, even to Alaska (for an unsettling bear-infested collision between bridesmaid and nature), and back to New York City, a place of untold new layers and unexpected complications. With buoyant optimism, a fair for drama, and easy charm in the face of minor suffering, Crosley is determined to take on (if not create) the messiest dilemmas the world has to offer.

How sure-footed and observant Sloane Crosley is. How perfectly, relentlessly funny. If you needed a bib while reading I Was Told There’d Be Cake, you might consider diapers for How Did You Get This Number.
