Sloane Crosley, the brilliantly funny "fountain of observations" (Boston Globe), now takes readers from a bear-infested wedding in Alaska to a run-in with clowns in Portugal in a new collection of essays about the messiest and most unexpected dilemmas life has to offer.

"How sure-footed and observant Sloane Crosley is. How perfectly, relentlessly funny." -- David Sedaris
"Wonderful and entertaining." -- USA Today

"Undeniably funny... Crosley's work speaks volumes to her generation." -- San Francisco Chronicle

"Crosley writes with such buoyancy. But [she]... shows a depth that's every bit as enjoyable as the full-on belly laughs." -- Entertainment Weekly
