Priestdaddy

“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.”

“Honestly, anything she writes. She wrote about meeting the pope for London Review of Books and I was giggling about it for days. Her novels are also funny, but more galaxy-brain.”

“A rare non fiction favorite, and a book that broke me out of a long reading drought and made me laugh out loud so often that even strangers felt compelled to ask what in the world I was reading. The author is a poet who moves back in with her parents when her husband is getting eye surgery. The twist is that her father is a Catholic Priest and Patricia is not religiously persuaded. My therapist thinks I idealize Patricia’s ability to turn anything (even pain) into a beautiful cosmic joke that only she is in on. Maybe I do! All I know is ever since I read this I have felt like I can approach heavy feelings with more lightness. Every sentence is lyric genius and stands alone.”

“I laughed out loud reading this book. Highly recommend!”

“Actual LOLs. Love this book”

“my absolute favorite.”
