Why read it?

1 author picked 99 Erics as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book made me laugh out loud. I had to stop reading so I could share extracts with my partner because it was so funny. Described in the subtitle as a "faux novel" and recounting the author's experiences of going on dates with 99 people called Eric, it blurs the boundary between fiction and autobiography, which makes it even funnier.

The format of the book also allows the author to present a wide range of character vignettes that can be read as stand-alone short stories and feel like you are eavesdropping on some hilarious juicy gossip.
