Very funny, great writer

I am thoroughly enjoying this. I've laughed out loud on the subway more than I care to admit!
If she writes anything else, I will definitely read it.

Great Book!

I loved this book! It was so funny! She has a writing style very similar to Sarah Vowell. It is an easy read, and her stories are easy to relate to! If you like Sarah Vowell, you will LOVE this book!

2 thumbs way up

I. Loved. This. Book. I could not put it down for 2 days. The chapter about the pear and chocolate tart was so funny I peed a little.

Fun and entertaining read.

This is a great book to take on a plane or while waiting at an appointment. Her style is as absurd and humorous as Seinfeld, which is high praise in my opinion.

Wry, hilarious, and profoundly genuine, this debut collection of literary essays is a celebration of fallibility and haplessness in all their glory. From despoiling an exhibit at the Natural History Museum to provoking the ire of her first boss to siccing the cops on her mysterious neighbor, Crosley can do no right despite the best of intentions-or perhaps because of them. Together, these essays create a startlingly funny and revealing portrait of a complex and utterly recognizable character that's aiming for the stars but hits the ceiling, and the inimitable city that has helped shape who she is. I Was Told There'd Be Cake introduces a strikingly original voice, chronicling the struggles and unexpected beauty of modern urban life.
