About this listen

Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two?

This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that's aiming a bit high.) This book is a cup of hot coffee, a ginormous bar of chocolate, or the magical fairy that comes over and does your dishes while you lie in the fetal position clutching a fluffy pillow.

Sometimes when life falls apart the only acceptable response is hysterical laughter. When things get so far gone, so spectacularly a world away from any plans you made or dreams you dreamed, you feel it bubbling up inside of you and you scream, "It's not fair!" And it isn't. Fair is an illusion, and life is weird.

This book will help you laugh at life's absurd backhands. This book is an empathetic groan of our collective unfairnesses. You might want to throw it across the room, and you might want to hug it like your new best friend. This book is about us sitting down together in our shared mess, taking a deep breath, gripping hands, looking the hard stuff in its beady little eyeballs, and bahahahaaing at it.

Life's not fair, but we can learn to love this life we didn't choose.

I subscribed to Audible in order to have this book but only 20 minutes in I was struggling to listen.

I wish the author had chosen someone else to narrate. I found the narrator’s voice irritating and brash and the writing too basic.

Maybe if I could have listened for longer than 30 minutes it may have got better, but I found the first 30 minutes of writing upbeat whingeing rather than reflective or having any genuinely heartfelt thoughts. I felt the author was trying too hard to be humorous and be the readers’ friend rather than sharing anything meaningful.

I appreciate that it’s hard to grab your audience in the beginning and that if I’d read the book, rather than listened to it, I would probably have persevered with it, but I still think the style of writing would have deterred me.

I suppose with a title of “it’s not fair” I should have expected something lightweight rather than enlightening.

Disappointing
