Choose Your Own Misery: The Holidays
Choose Your Own Misery: The Holidays | Mike MacDonald, Jilly Gagnon
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
From "The Onion" alum writers Mike MacDonald and Jilly Gagnon comes a hilarious choose-your-own-path story to ruin your holiday spirit. This is the year you re going to do it: you re going to avoid Christmas completely! ...or you were, until your island getaway got washed out by a hurricane. Now you have to choose: should you spend the holiday with your shrewish sister and her Europhile husband, or endure your new girlfriend s family for a week? Help chop down a tree even though it might throw out your back, or endure the icy judgment of a woman who thinks only children and pussies help bake cookies? Jet off to the glamorous slums of Kingston, Jamaica, or accept the offer of a ride from a man who never stops smiling...and is probably going to turn you into a skin suit? From the writers who brought you the hilarious parody "Choose Your Own Misery: The Office" comes a second helping of misery with a festive twist. Christmas is full of fun surprises for kids, but for adults, it s just an endless series of aggressive crowds, overwhelming credit card debt, and pretending to like the people you re forced to spend it with. Once you unwrap all the holiday misery hiding in these pages, the blackness of your heart will rival any lump of coal."

Too cool @cobwebmoth

Usually in a CYOA you are given a bit to read and given a decision to make. I choose Turn left. Lay your choices out in any order and choose the one on the left. #chooseyourowngiveway

Got this on #netgalley Didn't care for this one. Started on too limiting a premise and the "I" is hetro male, and overly dependent on that POV. Two recent books that use the "choose your own" premise much better are the Neil Patrick Harris autobiography and Romeo and/or Juliet.
