Hi everyone. Today I have a review of this book. I think the cover says it all. I love the cover of this book. I love this book, too. Imagine that you are a single mom with two daughters, young daughters and you’re struggling financially, but girls just got to have fun, right? I mean, at some point you got to let loose.
So she takes a pole dancing class and when the book opens, it’s after a night of celebration after her first pole dancing class and there’s a lot of female solidarity in this. It’s great. It’s wonderful. But she finds this dead body in her trunk, doesn’t know how it got there, has a complete blank as to what happened the night before, other than a few small details about being in a bar and this guy being there at some point. Well, I won’t say much more.
I will just say that complications abound when you have a dead body in your trunk and you don’t know what happened the night before, how it got there or anything.
Well, it’s just a really great concept, a great setup, a very compelling story and very, very witty. I found myself laughing out loud at parts. Just great, great stuff.
If you’re a mother, you will love this book, I think. I think you will love it. I’m just guessing. I’m just guessing based on the cover, the concept, the whole single mother trying to get some sort of something in her life that sparks joy other than her joy for her children, which of course she has. She loves her children, but for heaven’s sake, she’s overwhelmed. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and I don’t even have kids. So yeah, I mean, at some level, I can totally appreciate that. And I’m second to none in my admiration for mothers. I got to tell you, especially working mothers. I don’t know how you people do it.
Anyway, I mean the stories I hear, it’s like, oh goodness, why are you subjecting yourself to this? At some point you have to say, there are limits here. There are limits, but this book will help maybe ease your mind. I don’t know. Maybe just bring back bad memories. I don’t know, but it’s just really, it’s a wonderful read. I loved it and highly recommend it. Yes. For anybody who wants to get a better understanding of the pressures of being a single mom and trying to have a life as well. (While keeping a dead body hidden. And refrigerated.)
Okay, that’s it then. So be seeing you. I think that’s it. I was going to talk about my weekend, but it was such a horrible weekend in certain ways. Maybe I’ll save that for another video. Yeah, I’ll do that. All right, be seeing you.
Oh yeah. I forgot to mention the name of the book. Last Night Was Killer. Leave it to me to leave out some of the important parts, like the fact that the book is named Last Night Was Killer and it’s by … Oh, hell. Look at me. Look at how unprofessional I am. I’m terrible. I’m a terrible, terrible person who does terrible, terrible videos with my phone. Mary Pauline Lowry. Nice job, Mary Pauline Lowry. Thank you very much. Be seeing you.
PS: I forgot to mention her failed stalled career as a stand-up comedian in L.A. Circumstances have led her to move from L.A. to Boise, Idaho. Otherwise known as the California Suburbs.
