review 1: Simply put, loved it! After devouring Sara Barron's first book of humor essays, I was excited to receive an advance copy of her forthcoming follow up 'The Harm in Asking'. As expected, Sara dives in with candidness and openness about the things we all think, and sometimes do, but rarely discuss. Holding nothing back, she allows the full picture of her life experiences to unfold and takes the reader on yet another colorful ride through childhood and into adulthood. Sara's point of view is unique while still extremely relatable. From dysfunctional family dynamics to fumbling through awkward relations with friends, boys, students, and other strange humans, her descriptions are colorful and lively, showcasing Sara's ability to master the details and harness "finding the funny"... more in a myriad of situations. Like having a funny ass gal pal in your pocket, 'The Harm in Asking' kept me laughing and in good company from start to finish. Must-read.
review 2: Sara Barron is the creme de la creme of humor writers, partly thanks to sentences so perfectly constructed, each is a little nugget of comic gold. In The Harm In Asking, not only does the author lay herself bare, she offers insights and observations about the people around her that are so smart and spot-on, you'll laugh with both recognition and awe. No one sees the world quite like Sara Barron does. We're talking serious genius here. less
