Thanks to @penguinrandomhouse for an advance copy of Congratulations, the Best is Over! by R. Eric Thomas. I was delighted to be approved for Thomas’ second memoir in essays since his first book, Here For It: Or, How to Save Your Soul in America, was one of my favorite books of 2020, and his newsletter is hilarious and one of the few I’m subscribed to that I actually read with any regularity. I love that this book, while still true to his comedic style, strikes a more serious tone as it addresses topics of depression and loneliness. This book asks the question: what now? When you’ve bought a house? When your father in law dies? When you’re a humorist and the world feels like it’s coming apart? I love the way Thomas’ writing is both/and — personal and pop cultural, flippantly funny and intensely vulnerable. His storytelling inspires me to write in a way that few people do, and I’m so excited for more people to read this book, out August 8th. ID: A hardback copy of Here For It sits on a white shelf. Next to it is a kindle displaying the ebook cover of Congratulations, the Best is Over! via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CuPKjKYLKVV/
