5.0

There are only so many words to describe a book I truly enjoyed. For this one, I choose "f*cking hilarious."
Loved Robert Skinner's humor and wit, and also the insights he shares about life in Australia, tours through the outback, and — how can we ever forget — life under lockdown (Down Under edition).

Like many story collections, certain pieces resonated with me while others fell short. Nonetheless, I found myself laughing out loud at times and this book brightened a rainy weekend. Looking forward to reading more by Robert Skinner.

Thanks to NetGalley and Steerforth Press for the ARC!

the epilogue is truly brilliant. If only the rest of the book would have been on the same level.
