Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood

I cannot tell you how funny this is; unlike Lockwood I am not a particularly funny person. Just trust me, it’s worth your while. Smart and surprising.

Have you read her subsequent books? The most recent one had me cracking up on the bus :)

Priestdaddy

Leslie Ylinen

“The author’s father is a Catholic priest who used a rare loophole to marry and have children. This is her memoir and possibly the funniest book I’ve ever read.”

“Nonfiction works best for me for audiobooks and this memoir is an absolute banger. Read by the author, it will certainly make you laugh, but it’s more than just a ha-ha book. Highest of high recommends.”

“her dad is a catholic priest with a bunch of kids who walks around in his chonies and shreds on the guitar upstairs in his room all day. I love her world and insane mind.”
