It seemed like such a good book in theory, but the advice was not all that clever and the humor fell a little flat for me. It could possibly partly be partly because I listened to it and I feel like the author's delivery of the lines was a little... stale. Unfortunately this book was more miss than hit for me.

This was such a fun book. It reminded me of Dave Barry in the best possible way. Full review here: http://www.everyday-reading.com/2016/01/little-victories-perfect-rules-for.html

This is a self-help book that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Gay’s random, relatable, and somehow crazily brilliant sense of humor makes it well worth your time.

I loved this poignant, hilarious book. May we all learn to embrace the little victories!

I can't remember the last time a book made me laugh out loud this much. Brilliant, funny, deep, and practical. It's a quick read, almost like a conversation, and I highly recommend it.

I've never read Jason Gay's columns, but I was curious about a book that promoted "imperfect living". It's so disheartening sometimes to see the proliferation of books that promise perfection...and to know that the reason they are promoted constantly is because there are far too many people out there who believe they can actually attain that perfection. So even the title was refreshing!

Gay writes like he's chatting over coffee with a friend - it's casual, entertaining, and occasionally almost mind-reading. The topics are varied ("travel and snack packs", "your phone is not you", and "nobody's cool, especially me" are just a few of the sections in the book), have at least an element of humor to them (though to be honest, few were "laugh out loud funny" to me), and all have a truth to them that help show we all have perfectly imperfect lives - and we should be thankful for them, rather than striving for impossible perfection.

This book would be an excellent gift for just about anyone - particularly as a stocking-stuffer. It's small, it's interesting, it can be read in small chunks or all the way through at once, and it's message is such that anyone can benefit and/or appreciate it. As a gift, it doesn't get much better than that.

Cute and fluffy, Gay's not-really-a-life-advice book is just as short and funny as you'd want it to be. This would make a great beach read or something to flip through over a six-hour flight.

I listened to the audiobook version, read by the author, and it may have contributed a little more to the humour; Gay's cadence and tone during some of the drier or more ironic passages punched up the hilarity as he half-shouted his way through parts of the writing. I'm not a big sports fan but thankfully Gay was light on the sports-to-life analogies.

It speaks to Gay's talent as a writer that he was able to make something as unimaginable for most of us plebs as interviewing Rihanna on a private jet at 3am relatable. Skip this one if you're expecting a lot of depth, but if you're looking for a refreshing, quick dip into someone else's life, I highly recommend picking up Little Victories.
