Book of Essays?

I just recently read the book "I Was Told There'd Be Cake" by Sloane Crosley.

I never never read essays. There are just not my cup of tea. It did take me a few essays to get into the collection, but once I did, I finished it very quickly. My favorite essay was "You on a Stick." I could definitely relate about the misfortunes of being a bridesmaid. There were some really good cringe-worthy moments in it that were quite humorous.

I am glad that I expanded my reading genre-- a lot of fiction is what I normally go for. This was a fast and enjoyable read and I look forward to other work by her.
