My favorite pop culture analyst is back with another collection of essays. Well, he was back around the holiday season, but I’m just getting around to reviewing this now. I was a big fan of his first collection and still a fan today. This time, all the stories revolve around the holidays and our friend Danny has seen some stuff. He’s been on a road trip with an unhinged, inebriated stranger with questionable dating habits, watched his mom fully lose it, and battled Black Friday scam artists.
Danny Pellegrino is a true millennial, which means his tales will hit you right in the heart if you’re between the ages of 27 and 42. Nostalgia galore and I love that they all tie to the same festive theme. And if you happen to have a wacky family (because so often holidays = family, whether that’s blood or found), this is for you.
4 out of 5 stars (great…but just didn’t love as much as the first collection, which got a 5-star rating)
Pair with: Very strong eggnog
