From the hilarious, to the heartbreaking; Adam Homer Lawson's debut collection documents a life of adventure, neurosis, love, death and all manners of random conquest. Funny, poignant, honest; these short pieces are the perfect, quick forays into a mind so bizarrely charming and morosely funny you'll be laughing, crying and quoting its pages for years to come.
I honestly have no idea when, where, or why I got this book. I thought that as I picked it off my bookshelf, and made a conscious decision to go in "blind" with no googling the author or the title. After an interesting and human introduction, the first story/bit/thought/memory starts with the following sentence:
"Gabby once told Westley that she'd drink his ashes in a milkshake if he died before her, which I found to be the most deeply disturbing yet most romantic thing I've ever heard."
And it only gets better from there.
It's weird, it's fun, it's sad, it's relatable, it's a quick read and worth your time.
