pickThis was fun and a bit light for a typical #tob25 choice. I enjoyed it though. Struck a nice authentic chord.
A down-on-his-luck comedian is dumped by his long-term girlfriend. He struggles because, at 35, all his friends are married - most with kids. He wants that life so badly. He goes to hilarious lengths to figure out why Jen dumped him while getting a strange housemate and cobbling together jobs to keep his comedy career alive. #toblonglist
BarbaraBB Looking forward to this one. It being a little light will probably mean it won‘t make the shortlist 😂 3d
Megabooks @BarbaraBB I think you‘ll like it but not love it. You might enjoy Madwoman, too.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Madwoman 3d
Madwomansquirrelbrain I liked it but didn‘t love it and was very surprised to see it on the longlist - it‘s not a ToB book at all, I don‘t think. 🤷♀️ @barbarabb 3d

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Megabooks I‘ll temper my expectations! Is Madwoman on the longlist too Meg? 3d
Megabooks @BarbaraBB no, but it would‘ve been a good choice. 3d
Megabooks @squirrelbrain agreed. It‘s just a little too normal. 3d
BarbaraBB @Megabooks @squirrelbrain speaking of light books. I just finished this one and was underwhelmedBanal Nightmare: A Novel 3d
Banal Nightmare: A NovelMegabooks @BarbaraBB for me that one worked because I was really in the mood for it. 🤷🏻♀️ 3d
BkClubCare This title is the rare one that is Libby available without any holds but I don‘t have time right now for it! Can‘t decide what to do. 😂 3d
BarbaraBB @Megabooks I understand that and for you it is probably recognizable but I didn‘t know sometimes what they were talking about or the stores and stuff they mentioned etc 3d
Megabooks @BkClubCare it‘s a quick read if that makes a difference! 3d
Megabooks @BarbaraBB ah yeah. Very American in that way. I didn‘t think about that. 😕😕 3d
BarbaraBB Of course not! But I expect it‘s more fun for Americans! 3d
