Everyone always talks about their first time as being a huge milestone, but no one ever gives proper credit to "the first time in a while." In Joey Got Laid, the author’s retelling of how she had the presence of mind to embrace her best friend's discomfort in a celebratory way is simply priceless.
A short tale of no ordinary party, indeed.
From the bestselling book Turds in the Punch Bowl by Jen
Turds in the Punch Bowl is not your ordinary tale of friendship. Though unconventional in its material, this story is both hilarious and sweet. Meet Joe, the author’s quirky best friend, sidekick and, quite literally, partner in crime. A stunning mix between Seth Rogan, Alfred E. Neuman and Cosmo Kramer, Joe takes the author on a series of wild adventures spanning the last decade, from losing his dignity to finding his dad in a swinger’s club. Chock-full of irreverent wit and banter, this book is a laugh-out-loud narrative filled with unexpected moments of honest endearment within a friendship that anyone would count themselves blessed to have, but most aren't lucky enough to find.
"A series of short stories sprinkled with throwaway allusions and graphic humor, "Turds in the Punch Bowl" takes you places you always wanted to go but were afraid to visit... It's graphic, salacious, heartwarming and hilarious." — Warlizard, Bestselling Humor The Warlizard Chronicles
“In 'Turds', Jen strikes a powerful chord with her tales of deep-hearted friendship and pull-no-punches humor. Even though the events may be peppered with the occasionally spit-take inducing moment, you can't help but come away from these stories thinking about your own best friend or the powerful yearning for a Joe of your own." — Ren Cummins, author of the Chronicles of Aesirium
