What I thought

Having been a fan of this witty satirist I honestly couldn’t wait to read her book. It was worth it literal laugh out loud. It was a great break from reality, although the book spoke to reality. No topic was spared and I found her social commentary refreshing. So if you are in need of a good laugh ( I mean who isn’t ?) be sure to get her book or follow her socials.
