Presley’s social life is mostly influenced by her roommate, Izzy, until she meets her mother’s childhood friend, Susan Clark. Susan, facing her own life challenges, takes Presley under her wing, offering friendship, advice, and a fresh perspective on life. Through Susan\u2019s guidance, Presley steps out of her comfort zone, begins to heal from her grief, and embarks on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Told from Presley\u2019s first-person POV, the narrative is fluid and character-driven, making it an engaging and relatable read.

Presley’s endearing character and her dynamic with Susan are highlights, along with a well-developed romance subplot and an insightful peek into the NYC comedy scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the ending is a bit predictable and neatly tied up, “Humor Me”<\/strong> remains a well-written novel with real and relatable characters. The audiobook<\/strong>, narrated by Ferdelle Capistrano<\/strong>, adds to the delightful reading experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
