"I laughed, I teared up, I checked under my own sink. Allyn writes about ordinary disasters with extraordinary tenderness."
"A memoir that earns its title — beautiful and chaotic and somehow perfectly tuned. I didn't want it to end."
"Funny, observant, and quietly profound. The kind of book you press into a friend's hands."
"The chapter about the storm wrecked me in the best way. Allyn finds the universal in a flooded basement."
"An audiobook worth the full twelve hours. His narration feels like a long talk with an old friend."
"Honest without being heavy. I've already bought three copies as gifts."
