All Things Aside
All Things Aside: Major Notes on Minor Issues | Iliza Shlesinger
5 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
From the razor-sharp mind of comedian Iliza Shlesinger, a collection of rants, raves, and insights about the exasperating issues of everyday life All Things Aside tackles life--from the macro to micro--in Iliza Shlesinger's no-bullshit comedic style. Topics range from diatribes on the idea of the high-maintenance girl to the notion that products marketed specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in between. Shlesinger asks herself the all-important question that every woman is forced to consider at some point--Am I actually an annoying person?--and she'll walk readers through a devastating miscarriage, which she manages to navigate not only with grace, but somehow, with side-splitting humor. Throughout the book, Shlesinger dives from one subject into the next, getting carried away with the tangents of life much like she does in her stand-up comedy. All Things Aside is a punchy, honest, riotous book that shares with readers a view of the world through the eyes of the inimitable Iliza Shlesinger.

Home from vacation, time to catch up on some reviews.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Iliza. I always enjoy her content.

Says nostalgia is boring, then engages in her own nostalgia (and it‘s boring 🤨)

I decided to give this a chance despite books by celebrities not being my usual thing.

It started less funny and engaging than I expected but fortunately improved later. A quick and pretty fun book, even if it reads more angry than her stand-ups. Still, since it‘s read by the author who knows how to deliver her own jokes, the audiobook recommended.

3.5/5

I love iliza‘s podcast and her standup shows. I have seen her twice in person. I thought this book was true to Iliza‘s brand. I thought some tales were hilarious and relatable, and some missed the mark (for me). I highly recommend the audiobook (read by her) to enjoy the experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you‘re familiar with Shlesinger‘s standup, you‘ll understand this book, her delivery, funny voices, incredible arguments, and beautiful feminism. If not, then I don‘t think you‘ll enjoy this quite as much. She broaches some sensitive topics here, always with a humorous spin.

PS. Some of this material appears in her newest Netflix special. It‘s a good set, but her outfit was very distracting. #iykyk
