It made me jump up and down and holler ’Yummy’, like my grandmother Mary Lucille’s red velvet cake!

*Starred Review * Punctuated with HIGHLY effective humor, this book is a magnetic collection of real stories that sheds a new light on life in the Midwest.
Kirkus Reviews
Oh, my… Eric Poole’s journey of self-delusion and self-discovery had me laughing one minute, crying the next, and rooting for him every second. This charming book is a TV series waiting to happen!
George Takei
Eric Poole unfurls his shag carpeted, Match Game-lovin’ 70’s childhood with incredible wit and honesty. Light up a Winston, open a Tab and tuck in!
Simon DoonanAuthor of Beautiful People
Equally funny and poignant, Poole’s memoir-in-essays is like David Sedaris by way of Judd Apatow.
Michelle Hart - BOOK RIOT
A courageous and boldly honest memoir. Eric Poole says things people feel but would never admit to, which makes him vulnerable and endearing.
Wendy E. Simmons, author of My Holiday in North Korea
It begins as a hilarious read, and ends as a profoundly touching tale of traumas and triumphs. I ADORED it.
