Maeve in America

Maeve in American: essays by a girl from somewhere else / Maeve Higgins, read by the author, 245 pgs.

I had not heard of Maeve Higgins before listening to her book but now I love her.  I could listen to her read all day, she has the perfect accent.  Also, her essays are hilarious and she is thoughtful while being funny.  Maeve does comedy and so amazingly charming that you want to agree with everything she has to say. Her podcast about immigration was canceled because it was supposed to be funny but always turned out quite serious is a cautionary tale.  Her dog borrowing makes a lot of sense for people who don't want to commit to full time pet ownership.  But the best is her search for a husband using a inspiration from a favorite kids book.  Recommended.
