Casey Wilson has a lot on her mind and she isn’t afraid to share. In this dazzling collection, each essay skillfully constructed and brimming with emotion, she shares her thoughts on the joys and vagaries of modern-day womanhood and motherhood, introduces the not-quite-typical family that made her who she is, and persuasively argues that lowbrow pop culture is the perfect lens through which to examine human nature.

I’ve never laughed and cried so much
Revisado: 06-09-21
Not gonna lie, I didn’t know who this person was until she was a guest on Nicole Byer’s podcast. Having lost my father in 2018 my ears perked up the moment Casey mentioned to Nicole that she wrote a book which dealt a lot with the loss of her mother. About 20 minutes into the interview I had already downloaded this book. Casey is a hilarious and engaging story-teller and her essays are filled with emotional stories of loss and equal amounts Real Housewives shit talking and a playful childlike sense of humor that my inner child felt a deep kindred connection to. Even the stories I couldn’t directly relate to (having kids) were told in such a poignant, heartfelt and humorous way that one can’t help but empathize with the human condition we all share.

For Cazzie David, the world is one big trap door leading to death and despair and social phobia. From shame spirals caused by hookups to panic attacks about being alive and everyone else having to be alive too, David chronicles her life’s most chaotic moments with wit, bleak humor, and a mega-dose of self-awareness. In No One Asked for This, David provides listeners with a singular but ultimately relatable tour through her mind, as she explores existential anxiety, family dynamics, and the utterly modern dilemma of having your breakup displayed on the Internet.

Nathan for you for millennials
Revisado: 01-19-21
Cazzie David’s dark view of the world is not only relatable, but is told with a sarcastic tone that gives Daria a run for her money. Her uncomfortableness with everything reminds me of the hilarious discomfort that occurs when watching the show “Nathan for you.” Cazzie lives in a world where situations go darker and anxieties deeper than you’d expect to hear from most “privileged” millennials (as she refers to herself), but she tells of her experiences in such a way that makes each of them relatable. I was definitely left wanting to hear more from her twisted, sincere perspective. I hope she writes another book one day.

I laughed, cried and was entertained
Revisado: 05-16-18
This book is a sort of self-help disguised as a narrative and I mean that as a compliment. Anyone who has seen Grey's Anatomy knows that Shonda Rhimes can tell a damn story. I was inspired by her story as a self-made black female TV show writer and enjoyed her playful sense about her which comes out in her writing. She is funny, honest and entertaining. I recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle push in the right direction, any writers out there seeking inspiration, or anyone who just wants a good easy-listening non-fiction.
