Little Victories: Perfect Rules for Imperfect Living by Jason Gay

4.0

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.
